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

“I love the needle poke, the red pop/
and when an arc of red drops,/
quivering and shaped like wings/
beg me to lick them off,/
quickly savoring your shoulder/
newly marked with a nearly invisible/
but indelible butterfly”
― Rachel Dacus, Gods of Water and Air

“The idea of returning to the hotel and lacing up the layers of her old life returning made her shiver with dread.”
― Rachel Dacus, Jane Austen, Time Traveler

“Most of all, she wished he had not called a vehicle, but had carried her back in his arms. The delicious, dizzy feeling of being held close to Will lingered as he put his arm around her and hugged her.”
― Rachel Dacus, Jane Austen, Time Traveler

“I have an everyday religion that works for me. Love yourself first, and everything else falls into line.”
― Lucille Ball

“I needed a drink, I needed a lot of life insurance, I needed a vacation, I needed a home in the country. What I had was a coat, a hat and a gun. I put them on and went out of the room.”
― Raymond Chandler, Farewell, My Lovely

“The Moving Finger writes; and, having writ,
Moves on: nor all thy Piety nor Wit
Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line,
Nor all thy Tears wash out a Word of it.”
― Omar Khayyám

“I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you simply, without problems or pride: I love you in this way because I do not know any other way of loving but this, in which there is no I or you, so intimate that your hand upon my chest is my hand, so intimate that when I fall asleep your eyes close.”
― Pablo Neruda, 100 Love Sonnets

“But I love your feet
only because they walked
upon the earth and upon
the wind and upon the waters,
until they found me.”
― Pablo Neruda

Maureen Mullis Hi Rachel! Thank you for adding this fellow author into your circle of friends here on Goodreads. I hope you'll add my novels including the cozy mysteries (What Would Nancy Do?, Lethal Prescription), In the Company of Women, The Christmas to Remember and Finding Normal to your to-read list. I look forward to reading your book reviews and recommendations. Happy reading!
