kilroyI just finished Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow, which is superb. But there's this passage right near the end that really got me:
"I've been blue, lately," Sam admitted. "And I wondered, how do you get over that sort of thing?"
"Work helps," Sadie said. "Games help. But sometimes, when I'm really low, I keep a particular image in my mind."
"What is it?"
"I imagine people playing. Sometimes, it's one of our games, but sometimes, it's any game. The thing I find profoundly hopeful when I'm feeling despair is to imagine people playing, to believe that no matter how bad the world gets, there will always be players."
I start Mage next week, and that's why. Thanks, Gabrielle Zevin.
