Text Quotes
She was afraid, but she couldn't just sit around waiting for someone to save her. She had to try to save herself, try to figure it out  (Was Quotes) You know its more than that. I know now that it was right that I didn't find my queen all these years. Waiting for you was worth everything that I thought I couldn't endure  (Was Quotes) Safe wasn't quite what appealed to her right then. Safe wasn't how she felt. Invincible, in control, powerful - those words felt closer to true  (Was Quotes) Then she was alone - with only a wolf for companionship - waiting to tell the next girl what a folly it was to love him, to trust him  (Was Quotes) It wasn't the tattoo that had changed her, had given her repossession of her body.

It was finding the path when it looked like there weren't any paths to be found  (Was Quotes) I was a little concerned that a lot of people thought I wrote Merchant Ivory movies. I also thought if I was ever going to write something strange and difficult, that was the time  (Was Quotes) My friends and I took songwriting very, very seriously. My hero was and still is Bob Dylan, but also people like Leonard Cohen and Joni Mitchell and that whole generation  (Was Quotes) Our family arrived in England in 1960. At that time I thought the war was ancient history. But if I think of 15 years ago from now, that's 1990, and that seems like yesterday to me  (Was Quotes) The book was at a reasonably high position on the New York Times... Before I was in the country. I thought it would be an interesting experiment to see if my presence here would push it up or down  (Was Quotes) The blood kept welling up and getting over things so that she couldn't see what she was doing, which annoyed her; but she knew that theoretical clarity was unattainable in times of action  (Was Quotes) For a long time I thought I wanted to be a nun. Then I realized that what I really wanted to be was a lesbian  (Was Quotes) Hope is like a road in the country; there was never a road, but when many people walk on it, the road comes into existence  (Was Quotes) I am different from Washington; I have a higher, grander standard of principle. Washington could not lie. I can lie, but I won't  (Was Quotes) As I know more of mankind, I expect less of them, and am ready now to call a man a good man, upon easier terms than I was formerly  (Was Quotes) Kevin defended him. The parish in Yonkers was 100 percent Irish, he rationalized, and the priest had no choice but to affirm his community's values. I disagreed. Bigotry is not a value  (Was Quotes) As difficult an environment as the DA's Office could be, I saw no overarching conspiracy against women. The unequal treatment was usually more a matter of old habits dying hard  (Was Quotes) I was fifteen years old when I understood how it is that things break down: people can't imagine someone else's point of view  (Was Quotes) It was the insoluble problems - the false leads and the cold cases - that reflected the true nature of things  (Was Quotes) As long as she was falling in love with me, I might as well start making her promises I didn't intend to keep  (Was Quotes) I took comfort, as a kid, in knowing that things had always been as awful and as wonderful as they were now, that the world was always on the edge of total destruction  (Was Quotes) As any two people who have ever dressed in matching pajamas will attest, it was surprisingly effective  (Was Quotes) Although it wasn't raining anymore, the air was still heavy with water, and rain gutters were ringing all over Point Breeze  (Was Quotes) The Parkchester Library was my haven. To thumb through the card catalog was to touch an infinite bounty, more books than I could ever possibly exhaust  (Was Quotes) There was surely nothing to indicate at the time that such evidently small incidents would render whole dreams forever irredeemable  (Was Quotes) Teaching at best beckons us to morality, but it is not in itself efficacious. Teaching is like a mirror. It can show you if your face is dirty, but it the mirror will not wash your face  (Was Quotes) What I wished more than anything was that the thing hadn't happened at all, and I thought that by not mentioning it I'd be doing everyone else a favor  (Was Quotes) They weren't my family and it wasn't my holiday, but I was orphaned and an atheist and I would take what I could get  (Was Quotes) That was how troubles arrived, mourners rushing the bar at a wake. Though they came in funereal flocks, they could be dismissed only one at a time, and that was how she would have to proceed  (Was Quotes) It was like being given a maths problem when your brain's exhausted, and you know there's some far off solution, but you can't work up the energy even to give it a go. Something in me just gave up  (Was Quotes) I don't know why, but it didn't seem an option for more than one of us to storm off, and I wanted to make sure that one was me  (Was Quotes)
