“As the years pass, I am coming more and more to understand that it is the common, everyday blessings of our common everyday lives for which we should be particularly grateful. They are the things that fill our lives with comfort and our hearts with gladness -- just the pure air to breathe and the strength to breath it; just warmth and shelter and home folks; just plain food that gives us strength; the bright sunshine on a cold day; and a cool breeze when the day is warm.”

“I learned to find equal meaning in the repeated rituals of domestic life. Setting the table. Lighting the candles. Building the fire. Cooking. All those soufflés, all that crème caramel, all those daubes and albóndigas and gumbos. Clean sheets, stacks of clean towels, hurricane lamps for storms, enough water and food to see us through whatever geological event came our way. These fragments I have shored against my ruins, were the words that came to mind then. These fragments mattered to me. I believed in them. That I could find meaning in the intensely personal nature of life as a wife and mother did not seem inconsistent with finding meaning in the vast indifference of geology and the test shots.”

“Personne n'est capable réellement de penser à personne, fût-ce dans le pire des malheurs. Car penser réellement à quelqu'un, c'est y penser minute après minute, sans être distrait par rien, ni les soins du ménage, ni la mouche qui vole, ni les repas, ni une démangeaison. Mais il y a toujours des mouches et des démangeaisons. C'est pourquoi la vie est difficile à vivre.”

“Even someone you've inhabited rooms with, and seen naked everyday, seen sitting on the toilet through a half-opened door, can fade out after a while and become an outline.”

“I thought about how often this was needed in everyday life. How we feel lonely, sometimes to the point of tears, but we don't let those tears come because we are not supposed to cry.”

“It is a deep and quiet tragedy of our time that the sacred has been exiled from the ordinary. That the holy has been placed on high shelves, reserved for sanctuaries and ceremonies, far removed from the steaming of a teacup, the folding of laundry, the brushing of a child’s hair. But this is not how it has always been. Nor is it how it must be.”

“And we experience miracles so often, we just take them for granted. We abuse the magic of life every single day by the way we talk to each other, by the way we treat each other. We are much - there is something greater than us, and we are much greater than we think we are.”

“Everyday is not going to be just the way you want it, situations at times might turn out unpleasant, or even heartbreaking. This happens to everyone. You’re not alone, remember this, but for the most part, thrive to be happy with where you are in life. We’re all the artist of our own inner thoughts, and happiness. Many times, we take things way to serious. Many times, situations turn our just the opposite of what we were thinking. Bring God with you through this journey, His hand are always on your shoulders. In Jesus name. Amen.”

“Після університету Тютюнник із дружиною Людмилою вчителюють на Донбасі, про який він у записниках залишає чимало невеселих свідчень. Як-от із листа 1963 року найрадикальніша фраза: «І ще одно, я, здається, остаточно вирішив: звернусь, мабуть, до рідної мови, бо не можна про Батьківщину говорити не батьківською мовою. Та й життя російського я не знаю, бо в донецькому краї живуть не нації, а якісь перевертні, і звичаї тут одноманітні до скреготу зубовного: пить і лаятись, робить і матюкатись».”

“Gold nugget ideas sometimes come to me on bus trips. I play a game: when my eye falls on something noteworthy, I try to flip the visual into the most vivid and accurate verbal imagery possible. Then I rewrite it in my head until it rings true to me. It's not as easy as you might think, yet this exercise revealed a profound truth: the mundane can have treasured seams if we're open to finding them, letting them find us and giving them voice whenever and wherever we are. Time is only wasted if we allow it.”
