What are you reading, my dear? A pretty sight, a lady with a book.  (Shirley Jackson Quotes) God! Whose hand was I holding?  (Shirley Jackson Quotes) In all the world there is not someone who does not believe something  (Shirley Jackson Quotes) Bridge is a game for the undivided intellect  (Shirley Jackson Quotes) Duty and conscience were, for Theodora, attributes which belonged properly to Girl Scouts  (Shirley Jackson Quotes) I looked at the clock with the faint unconscious hope common to all mothers that time will somehow have passed magically away and the next time you look it will be bedtime.  (Shirley Jackson Quotes) I was wondering about my eyes; one of my eyes--the left--saw everything golden and yellow and orange, and the other eye saw shades of blue and grey and green; perhaps one eye was for daylight and the other was for night. If everyone in the world saw different colors from different eyes there might be a great many new colors still to be invented  (Shirley Jackson Quotes) On the moon we have everything. Lettuce, and pumpkin pie and Amanita phalloides. We have cat-furred plants and horses dancing with their wings. All the locks are solid and tight, and there are no ghosts  (Shirley Jackson Quotes) I never was a person who wanted a handout. I was a cafeteria worker. I’m not too proud to ask the Best Western manager to give me a job. I have cleaned homes  (Shirley Jackson Quotes) For plain and fancy worrying, give me a new mother every time  (Shirley Jackson Quotes) I’m going to put death in all their food and watch them die  (Shirley Jackson Quotes) Poor strangers, they have so much to be afraid of  (Shirley Jackson Quotes) I delight in what I fear  (Shirley Jackson Quotes) So long as you write it away regularly nothing can really hurt you  (Shirley Jackson Quotes) I shall weave a suit of leaves. At once. With acorns for buttons  (Shirley Jackson Quotes) In the country of the story the writer is king  (Shirley Jackson Quotes) A pretty sight, a lady with a book  (Shirley Jackson Quotes) Wear your boots if you wander today  (Shirley Jackson Quotes) Am I walking toward something I should be running away from?  (Shirley Jackson Quotes) No live organism can continue for long to exist sanely under conditions of absolute reality  (Shirley Jackson Quotes) Certainly there are spots which inevitably attach to themselves an atmosphere of holiness and goodness; it might not then be too fanciful to say that some houses are born bad  (Shirley Jackson Quotes) Although the villagers had forgotten the ritual and lost the original black box, they still remembered to use stones  (Shirley Jackson Quotes) Now, I have nothing against the public school system as it is presently organized, once you allow the humor of its basic assumption about how it is possible to teach things to children  (Shirley Jackson Quotes) Today my winged horse is coming and I am carrying you off to the moon and on the moon we will eat rose petals  (Shirley Jackson Quotes) It is only with the eyes open that a corporeal form returns, and assembles itself firmly around the hard core of sight  (Shirley Jackson Quotes) It was one of those winter days that suddenly dream of spring, when the sky is blue and soft and clear, and the wind has dropped its voice and whispers instead of screaming, and the sun is out and the trees look surprised, and over everything there is the faintest, palest tint of green  (Shirley Jackson Quotes) I suppose, I hoped, by setting a particularly brutal ancient rite in the present and in my own village to shock the story’s readers with a graphic dramatization of the pointless violence and general inhumanity in their own lives  (Shirley Jackson Quotes) I came to believe that being a private detective was the work I was meant to do  (Shirley Jackson Quotes) No, the menace of the supernatural is that it attacks where modern minds are weakest, where we have abandoned our protective armor of superstition and have no substitute defense  (Shirley Jackson Quotes) I was pretending that I did not speak their language; on the moon we spoke a soft, liquid tongue, and sang in the starlight, looking down on the dead dried world  (Shirley Jackson Quotes)
