Quotes by Barbara Abel (?)

“The wait went on, the seconds ticking away in a tangle of emotions, desperate hope giving way to pitiless anguish. The certainty of being safe from misfortune shatters inexorably, like a splinter being driven into your soul, leaving behind fissures that you try to repair because this sort of thing only happens to other people . . . . And words and pictures come to mind and linger, cruel, unbearable. You close your eyes so as not to see, not to feel, not to think. Pathetic attempts to escape disaster by sheer force of will.”
― Barbara Abel, Mothers' Instinct

“Sadness is a burden that, unlike happiness, cannot be shared.”
― Barbara Abel, Mothers' Instinct

“And then someone else would come out with another, even more appalling story: quick, quick, let’s hear about another misfortune that happened to someone else, something that could have happened to us if we were unlucky, although we weren’t.”
― Barbara Abel, Mothers' Instinct

tags: gossip, schadenfreude
