Anthony Doerr Quotes

There Was Our Old Life, In The Apartment, In Which We Had Time To Finish Most Of The Tasks We Started And Took Long Showers And Remembered To Water Our Plants. And There Was Our New Life, In The Hospital A Mile Away, In Which Shauna Needed Morphine And Two Babies Needed To Eat Every Three Hours Around The Clock ... I Remember Thinking, We're Going To Have To Figure Out How To Combine Our Old Life With Our New Life ... Over A Year Later, We Still Have Days Of Mind-crushing Fatigue, Midnights When I Think I'm Pouring Milk Into A Bottle But Am Actually Pouring It All Over The Counter. Yesterday I Spent Five Minutes Trying To Remember My Parents' Zip Code. But Now There Are Mornings Like This One, When We Wake Up And Realize We've Slept Through The Entire Night, And We Stroll Through The Gardens As If We Are Normal Again, As If We Are Finally Learning The Syllables Of This Strange, New Language.
