Autumns Quotes

“No sound, once made, is ever truly lost. In electric clouds, all are safely trapped, and with a touch, if we find them, we can recapture those echoes of sad, forgotten wars, long summers, and sweet autumns.”
― Ray Bradbury, Now and Forever

“When pain is vivid, when decisions are keen-edged,
we believe that we are the surgeons.

But time passes, and one sees the whole more clearly,
and now I perceive us as surgical instruments used by the world.”
― David Mitchell, The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet
