Pip Williams
“...I realized that the words most often used to define us were words that described our function in relation to others. Even the most benign words- maiden, wife, mother - told the world whether we were virgins or not. What was the male equivalent of maiden? I could not think of it. What was the male equivalent of Mrs., of whore, of common scold?... Which words would define me? Which would be used to judge or contain?”
Pip Williams, The Dictionary of Lost Words

Rachel Hawkins
“Tripp is so many ugly things—a drunk, a lech, a Republican—but murderer still doesn’t fit on him.”
Rachel Hawkins, The Wife Upstairs

Pip Williams
“Some words are more than letters on a page, don't you think? They have shape and texture. They are like bullets, full of energy, and when you give one breath you can feel its sharp edge against your lip.”
Pip Williams, The Dictionary of Lost Words

Shelby Van Pelt
“Would the sight of the sea be a comfort to him? Or would it be a slap in the face, seeing his natural habitat, so close, yet so far?”
Shelby Van Pelt, Remarkably Bright Creatures

Pip Williams
“A vulgar word, well placed and said with just enough vigour, can express far more than its polite equivalent.”
Pip Williams, The Dictionary of Lost Words
