Quotes by Charles D'Ambrosio (?)

“Where exactly do you put your hands on somebody who hurts everywhere?”
― Charles D'Ambrosio, The Dead Fish Museum

“My ideal life is a quiet one. I like to read, to sit still in the same chair, with the lampshade at a certain angle, alone, or with Meagan nearby, and now and then, if I'm lucky, I'll come across a lovely phrase or fine sentiment, look up from my book, and feel the harmony of some notion, the justice of it, and know that everything is there. That's life to me, those privately discovered moments. ”
― Charles D'Ambrosio, The Dead Fish Museum

“her knees, which looked, in the faint blue light, as though they'd been carved by water from a bar of soap.”
