“The Impossible Yesterday is Routine Today.

Wait Until Tomorrow.”

– Sir Ken Robinson

              

“A single flight of planes no bigger than a wedge of geese can quickly end this island fantasy, burn the towers, crumble the bridges, turn the underground passages into lethal chambers, cremate the millions. The intimation of mortality is part of New York now: in the sound of jets overhead, in the black headlines of the latest edition” –E.B White “Here is New York”

 

 

My older brother John lived [his life] in

Technicolor… When he walked in the door, the whole house lit up.

And I’m sure heaven lit up when he got there too.”

-Anthoula Katsimatides at the World Trade Center site in 2005

“We ask that the memorial see the light of day and not be hidden in the shadows.”— Patrick Lynch (PBA)

 

 

 

 

 

 

“This morning, a stone’s throw from here, parents lead their children by the hand to school. Commuters emerge from subways. Trucks deliver produce. Signs of everyday life everywhere, and the tangible sign of success. Normalcy. The overwhelming sense of anxiety that once filled the air here in Lower Manhattan – and all across the city – has been replaced by a sense of energy and renewal. Of course, the everyday worries have long-since returned – and that’s a good thing. That’s normal, as well.” -Bloomberg

“I know that we never get over great losses; we absorb them and they carve us into different, often kinder, creatures”

-Gail Caldwell
