I‘ve been gathering quotes during my wonderful time with Noah Hawley‘s novel, Before the Fall, and it has become a long list.. It‘ll be difficult day when I finally choose one to actually share on here.

“We all come into existence as a single cell, smaller than a speck of dust... Matter changes hands, atoms flow in and out, molecules pivot, proteins stitch together, mitochondria send out their oxidative dictates; we begin as a microscopic electrical swarm. The lungs the brain the heart. Forty weeks later, six trillion cells get crushed in the vise of our mother‘s birth canal and we howl. Then the world starts in on us.” (468)

As challenging as it was, I instantly fell in love with Paul Kingsnorth's first, The Wake. I have been waiting oh so patiently for Beast and am excited to jump into Kingsnorth's brilliant mind once again!

My tea is ready and so am I!
