Quotes by Thomas Mallon (?)

“...causing him to consider the possibility that there really was no such thing as happiness or unhappiness. Maybe there was only intensity-and then everything else.”
― Thomas Mallon, Fellow Travelers

“he’d spent his whole life trying to make God love him—and that this didn’t matter in the slightest. All that mattered was that he loved God. He told me that once he knew this he was home free.”
― Thomas Mallon, Fellow Travelers

“I always fall for the truly cold, cold people, cold men because I decide their reserve and awkwardness is really bottled-up warmth that they're waiting for me to release, an act for which they'll repay me with extravagant love.”
― Thomas Mallon, Fellow Travelers
