Norah Hoult > Quotes

“Those whose lives have been an exercise in the pitting of their wits, or the selling of their talents, time and strength, to those who pay the piper, can even in their old age, even with their wits partially gone, automatically practise defences, and appeal for aid. But not so those who have never asked, who have never bargained.”
― Norah Hoult, There Were No Windows

“Gin and whisky cost so much more. Oblivion and courage could no longer be purchased for the price of an old song.”
― Norah Hoult, There Were No Windows
