The beauty of artifacts is in how they reassure us we’re not the first to die.
Simon Van Booy
In the end I didn't know who I was crying for, but it was something my body wanted to do, as though trying to digest grief.

Simon Van Booy
Reading reassures us that no matter how alone we might feel, there are many others - spread as wide as history itself - who have felt the same way we have, who have occupied the rooms we find ourselves locked in at various points of our lives.
Simon Van Booy
I read books because I love them, not because I think I should read them.
Simon Van Booy
Hands have their own language.
Simon Van Booy
I think music is what language once aspired to be. Music allows us to face God on our own terms because it reaches beyond life.
Simon Van Booy
Music helps us understand where we have come from but, more importantly, what has happened to us.
Simon Van Booy
The most significant conversations of our lives occur in silence.
Simon Van Booy
Whether you know it or not, we leave parts of ourselves wherever we go.
Simon Van Booy
There are some lies that, under the right circumstances, are the only truth
