WyoLady 93

“She doesn’t place the rights of animals above those of humans but she does, undoubtedly, prefer her cats to many humans.”
― Elly Griffiths, A Room Full of Bones

“Once you have had a child, can you ever go back to being the person you were?”
― Elly Griffiths, The Crossing Places

“Kate is now walking. She started at ten months, which is early according to the books. And while Ruth was proud of her daughter for reaching this milestone ahead of time (walking at ten months = first class honours degree from Cambridge), she can’t help thinking that it was easier when she could carry her everywhere.”
― Elly Griffiths, A Room Full of Bones

“Ruth doesn’t have children and she has never been pregnant. Now that she is nearly forty and thinking that she might never have a child, it all seems such a waste. All that machinery chugging away inside her, making her bleed each month, making her moody and bloated and desperate for chocolate. All that internal plumbing, all those pipes gurgling away, all for nothing.”
