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

“looking into her bruised face the schoolmaster thought that the history of the world was the history of cruelty, that it had never been anything else: they limped along the great curve of extinction, one foot in the void, dwindling each year and it was cruelty that made them cling on, pain and the paining of others that kept them moving”
Missouri Williams, The Doloriad

“...the way that the words hung together to produce meaning had a logic that he could not follow, and sometimes he thought that this was because they spoke in images, immediate, sensuous images, that their minds had escaped the temporal relationships that had defined the language of the past and instead they lived in an eternal, causeless present, a world of pure simultaneity.”
Missouri Williams, The Doloriad

“...and one day the rain would wash them away entirely, the sounds of the dead city and her memories of them, and then the Matriarch would finally be free of it—the past and its language.”
Missouri Williams, The Doloriad
