“The best books, they don't talk about things you never thought about before. They talk about things you'd always thought about, but that you didn't think anyone else had thought about. You read them, and suddenly you're a little bit less alone in the world.”

“Do you think it is better to fail at something worthwhile, or succeed at something meaningless”
Tommy Wallach, We All Looked Up“She believed photography to be the greatest of all art forms because it was simultaneously junk food and gourmet cuisine, because you could snap dozens of pictures in a couple of hours, then spend dozens of hours perfecting just a couple of them.”
Tommy Wallach, We All Looked Up“Anita felt like she finally understood why love was symbolized by the grotesque pumping organ, always threatening to clog, or break, or attack. Because the heart was the body's engine, and love was an act of the body. Your mind could tell you who to hate or respect or envy, but only your body--your nostrils and your mouth and the wide, blank canvas of your skin--could tell you who to love.”
Tommy Wallach, We All Looked Up“It occurred to Anita that hatred and dislike and even indifference were all luxuries, born of the mistaken belief that anything could last forever.”

Tommy Wallach, We All Looked Up“Life would take everything from you eventually. So who would be so stupid to leave someone they loved by choice?”
Tommy Wallach, Thanks for the Trouble“Exactly. The dots guy. I've always thought getting older was a bit like looking at those paintings. You're born, and that's when you're standing right up next to the canvas. Nothing makes any sense. There's just a lot of light and color. But as you get older, you begin to back away, and that's when the image starts to cohere. All those little spots of color turn into flowers, or people, or dogs. You gain perspective.”
Tommy Wallach, Thanks for the Trouble“People don't like getting older, but they do like changing”
Tommy Wallach, Thanks for the Trouble“When change loses its magic, then there really isn't anything left to live for.”
