“In the morning, she was not sure that she had slept as much as lived a set of vivid dreams, letting them linger so that she would not have to open her eyes and see the room.”
Colm Tóibín, Brooklyn

“She thought it was strange that the mere sensation of savouring the prospect of something could make her think for a while that is must be the prospect of home.”
Colm Tóibín, Brooklyn

“None of them could help her. She had lost all of them. They would not find out about this; she would not put it into a letter. And because of this she understood that they would never know her now. Maybe, she thought, they had never known her, any of them, because if they had, then they would have had to realize what this would be like for her.”
Colm Tóibín, Brooklyn

“If you don’t make mistakes, they’ll notice you and they’ll get to like you,’ she added. Eilis”
Colm Tóibín, Brooklyn

“And then it occurred to her that she was already feeling that she would need to remember this room, her sister, this scene, as though from a distance.”
Colm Tóibín, Brooklyn
