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

“Common phrase would lead one to believe human beings carry feelings primarily in their heart. Yet no matter how many times Abernathy searches the chambers of his chest for the source, he finds the sadness that pervades his life originating not in his heart, or his gut, his elbows, or his mouth, or his hands.

Sometimes, in moments of desperation, he thinks he must carry despair in his blood. How else to explain the fact that though he tries his best to be happy, anguish moves so fast inside him, everywhere. Everywhere and all at once.”
Molly McGhee, Jonathan Abernathy You Are Kind

“What does it mean to be successful? People ask themselves this question to the point of obsession. They believe it is their mission in life to "succeed," as if life is something to be climbed on top of and bested.

Abernathy is one such person.

Though, of course, like most people who are afflicted by preoccupation with success, he remains oblivious to the true pleasures in life. As such, he is willing to sacrifice them.”
Molly McGhee, Jonathan Abernathy You Are Kind

“men just have more energy for this sort of thing. For them there is simply less to do. They can afford to keep pushing when a single mother has to give in.”
Molly McGhee, Jonathan Abernathy You Are Kind

“She worries over the way her love for me comes and goes, appears and disappears. She doubts its reality simply because it isn't as steadily pleasurable as a kitten. God knows it is sad. The human voice conspires to desecrate everything on earth.”
J.D. Salinger, Raise High the Roof Beam, Carpenters & Seymour: An Introduction

“My experience of life is that it is not divided up into genres; it’s a horrifying, romantic, tragic, comical, science-fiction cowboy detective novel. You know, with a bit of pornography if you're lucky.”
Alan Moore

“Two adolescent girls on a hot summer night--hardly the material of great literature, which tends to endow all male experience (that of those twin brothers who found themselves adrift so many years ago in the dark northern woods for instance) with universal radiance. Faithless sons, wars and typhoons, fields of blood, greed and knives: our literature's full of such stories. And yet suppose for an instant that it wasn't the complacent father but his bored daughter who was the Prime Mover; suppose that what came first wasn't an appetite for drama but the urge to awaken it. Mightn't we then permit a single summer in the lives of two bored girls to represent an essential stage in the history of the universe?”
Kathryn Davis
