Quotes by Sahil Sood  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“The world we know is slowly fading, vanishing. Soon, we will cease to exist in memories. Our life together will leave no record, no witnesses. Dreams are all we have. Dreams, a bridge from one life to another. Only when you close your eyes, do I come alive. Only when someone chooses to share our story.”
Sahil Sood, If I Should Go Tomorrow

“Those early days were rough. I drank too much. Lovelorn, lovesick, disappointed, disillusioned. Like everyone else, I drank to forget. To drown my sorrows. Soon it became a habit, and then a chronic need. Urban middle-aged men with swollen eyes and tired expressions—angry, belligerent, like phantoms hanging in the dark, populated the bars in those days. Their shadows greeted each other on the grimy discoloured walls, always talking, deliriously busy, lamenting the inability to fulfil the promise of their youth, ordinary men in their ordinary grief.”
Sahil Sood, If I Should Go Tomorrow

“Life was revealing itself to her once again; everything that had remained hidden for so long was now coming back to light.”
Sahil Sood, If I Should Go Tomorrow
tags: life

“Anybody who has survived his childhood has enough information about life to last him the rest of his days.”
Flannery O'Connor, Mystery and Manners: Occasional Prose

“It's wildly irritating to have invented something as revolutionary as sarcasm, only to have it abused by amateurs.”
Christopher Moore, Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ’s Childhood Pal

“Genius is the recovery of childhood at will.”
Arthur Rimbaud

“Children see magic because they look for it.”
Christopher Moore, Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ’s Childhood Pal

“If there were such a thing as terminal literalism, you'd have died in childhood.”
Cassandra Clare, City of Bones

Glad to be friends, Jareed. My earliest impressions of reading were formed by my mother's reading habits. Thus, the shelf :-)
