Quotes by Jennifer Down (?)

“I was always looking ahead to a time when I would miss this.”
― Jennifer Down, Bodies of Light

“The Sydney of this time was a different place to the honeymoon city I'd visited with Damien. That one was the crescent of the bridge, the rolling waves beneath the ferry, the shaded streets in The Rocks where we'd bought touristy postcards to send home. Everywhere was so lush, everything blue and green. This Sydney was more or less the space between Campsie and Dulwich Hill. Suburban streets, 7-Eleven hot chocolate, stream, car fumes, perc in my nose and throat, light dancing across the scratched Perspex of train window.”
― Jennifer Down, Bodies of Light

“Doesn’t it feel kind of a selfish way to live? Jeff asked. Selfish, I echoed. Like, we’re just living for ourselves. I don’t know. Am I wrong? I think it’s selfish to have a child out of a desire to reproduce your own image. Or because it’s the thing to do, and you sign right up without realising what it means.”
