“Because you can choose who you’ll be with, but you can’t choose who they’ll become.”
― David Vann, Caribou Island

“Having something to look forward to changes everything. I've always needed a future. I can't live without one.”
― David Vann, Aquarium

“We live through evolution ourselves, each of us, progressing through different apprehensions of the world, at each age forgetting the last age, every previous mind erased. We no longer see the same world at all.”
― David Vann, Aquarium
