Gabrielle Zevin Quote: “Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow is a novel about work, and I would be remiss if I did not thank my colleagues, whose ideas, skills, questions, observations, provocations, encouragements, witticisms, letters, phone calls, Zooms, texts, PowerPoint presentations, and occasional course corrections have improved this book enormously.”
Gabrielle Zevin Quote: “Winning is accepting that there are some races a person cannot win.”

Gabrielle Zevin Quote: “If this were a game, he could hit pause. He could restart, say different things, the right ones this time. He could search his inventory for the item that would make Sadie not leave.”
Gabrielle Zevin Quote: “While Keanu sat in the chair, Audrey lay in the bed next to Tiny Tim, their fingertips casually touching, in the way of people who were entirely comfortable around each other. She almost seemed to be an extension of him, and he, of her. There is love here, she thought.”
Gabrielle Zevin Quote: “I have a pain that exists only in my head,” she said, once some of her vitality had been restored. “I have had it my whole life. But when I feel that pain, I am incapacitated by it, and I am certain that I can’t go on.”
Gabrielle Zevin Quote: “Once you loved someone, you repeated it until they were tired of hearing it. You said it until it ceased to have meaning. Why not? Of course, you goddamn did.”

Gabrielle Zevin Quote: “We read to know we’re not alone. We read because we are alone. We read and we are not alone. We are not alone. My life is in these books, he wants to tell her. Read these and know my heart. We are not quite novels. The analogy he is looking for is almost there. We are not quite short stories. At this point, his life is seeming closest to that. In the end, we are collected works.”
Gabrielle Zevin Quote: “Other people’s parents are often a delight.”
Gabrielle Zevin Quote: “She is seventy, and she believes you try new things or you may as well die.”
Gabrielle Zevin Quote: “You aren’t just a gamer when you play anymore. You’re a builder of worlds, and if you’re a builder of worlds, your feelings are not as important as what your gamers are feeling. You must imagine them at all times. There is no artist more empathetic than the game designer.”
Gabrielle Zevin Quote: “But Sadie knew it was easy to get addicted to the taste of your own carnage.”
Gabrielle Zevin Quote: “The alternative to appropriation is a world in which artists only reference their own cultures.”

Gabrielle Zevin Quote: “The world had always looked painfully beautiful to him when he was sick. It was only when he was alone and he couldn’t participate in the business of living that he tended to notice how lovely being alive was.”

Gabrielle Zevin Quote: “Ludo means ‘game’ in Latin.”

Gabrielle Zevin Quote: “Do you leave the formation of memories to happenstance, or do you decide to remember?”
Gabrielle Zevin Quote: “To allow yourself to play with another person is no small risk. It means allowing yourself to be open, to be exposed, to be hurt. It is the human equivalent of the dog rolling on its back – I know you won’t hurt me, even though you can.”
Gabrielle Zevin Quote: “Emily B. Marks.”
Gabrielle Zevin Quote: “What a funny turn of phrase, she thought. Licking your wounds would only make them worse, no? The mouth was filled with so much bacteria. But Sadie knew it was easy to get addicted to the taste of your own carnage.”
Gabrielle Zevin Quote: “You think how much these books are like life. Except in Choose Your Own Adventure, you can move backward, and you can choose something else if you don’t like how the story turned out, or if you just want to know the other possible outcomes. You would like to do that, but you can’t. Life moves relentlessly forward.”
Gabrielle Zevin Quote: “Sometimes, I would be in so much pain. The only thing that kept me from wanting to die was the fact that I could leave my body and be in a body that worked perfectly for a while – better than perfectly, actually – with a set of problems that were not my own.”
Gabrielle Zevin Quote: “No loss is permanent, because nothing is permanent, ever.”
Gabrielle Zevin Quote: “Marx loved college theater. It wasn’t so much being on stage that he loved, but the productions themselves. He loved the intimacy of being in a tight group of people who had come together, miraculously, for a brief period in time, for the purpose of making art. He mourned every time a production was over, and he rejoiced when he was cast in a new one.”
Gabrielle Zevin Quote: “To know that when one phase of a relationship ends it can transform into something else. It is to acknowledge that love is both a constant and a variable at the same time.”
