Quotes by Shelly King  (?)

“If I could sleep with my arms around you, the ink could stay in the bottle.”
Shelly King, The Moment of Everything

“There's a part of grief that's unexpected. After the days when you think you'll never be able to get out of bed again and after walking about feeling like your insides are hollow and your skin is made of paper, you start remembering. You remember not the death and seeing the one you love in a hospital bed with tubes. You remember what he was like before all of that, when he was well and you were whole. It's that remembering that catches up with you and then you know the person you lost isn't lost after all, but has become part of you and you're the better for it.”
Shelly King, The Moment of Everything

“The books in Apollo are like people without pasts, without tales to tell. The books of the Dragonfly have been through many hands and will move on to others. They smell of human touch and all its possibilities.”
Shelly King, The Moment of Everything
