• I was raised in an Irish-American home in Detroit where assimilation was the uppermost priority. The price of assimilation and respectability was amnesia. Although my great-grandparents were victims of the Great Hunger of the 1840's, even though I was named Thomas Emmet Hayden IV after the radical Irish nationalist exile Thomas Emmet, my inheritance was to be disinherited. My parents knew nothing of this past, or nothing worth passing on.

• La lengua inglesa carece de las palabras "to mourn an absence" (llorar una ausencia). Para la pérdida de un padre, un abuelo, un cónyuge, un hijo o un amigo tenemos todo tipo de palabras y frases, algunas útiles, otras no. Aun así, estamos condicionados a decir algo, aunque sólo sea "siento su pérdida". Pero en el caso de una ausencia, de alguien que nunca estuvo allí, no tenemos palabras para captar ese vacío tan particular. Para quienes desean profundamente tener hijos y se les niegan, esos bebés desaparecidos se ciernen como sombras silenciosas y efímeras sobre sus vidas. ¿Quién puede describir la sensación de una mano diminuta que nunca se coge?

• I learned a lot from the stories my uncle, aunts, and grandparents told me: that no one is perfect but most people are good; that people can't be judged only by their worst or weakest moments; that harsh judgements make hypocrites of us all; that a lot of life is just showing up and hanging on; that laughter is often the best, and sometimes only response to pain.

• It was about the preciousness of that, and how they viewed those birds as art, as something valuable. I didn't care one way or another back then, but now, thinking about my grandparents - who are still alive but getting older - I see the birds as sort of time capsules. Now I go home during the holidays and they hold a lot of weight in terms of nostalgia and memory. Now they mean everything.

• Our parents and grandparents understood this truth deeply. They believed - as we do - that to create jobs, a modern economy requires modern investments: educating, innovating and rebuilding for our children's future.
