Quotes by Anna Solomon (?)

“Lillian had come to the realization that gifts were mostly for the people who gave them.”
― Anna Solomon, Leaving Lucy Pear

1 likes

“The more people she knew, the more she liked being alone. What she liked, she realized, was to know there were people out there, available, should she want to see someone. This was solace enough—often it was better, it turned out, than actually being with people—and usually she chose to remain alone.”
― Anna Solomon, The Book of V.

“She didn’t know then—she didn’t know yet—that pleasure was its own necessity, as grimly serious as mourning.”
― Anna Solomon, The Little Bride: A Novel
