Book cover for Sea Wife
But I am a mother. Gradually, I just gave them all away, all my spaces, one by one, down to the very last closet.

“It was yesterday, or it was a thousand years ago. There wasn’t really a difference. Time was a swamp inside a giant washing machine.”
Michael Poore, Reincarnation Blues

Louis de Bernières
“Love is a temporary madness, it erupts like volcanoes and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is.
Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion. That is just being in love, which any fool can do. Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident.
Those that truly love have roots that grow towards each other underground, and, when all the pretty blossoms have fallen from their branches, they find that they are one tree and not two.”
Louis de Bernières, Corelli’s Mandolin

“If you have been told that you are late and unreliable more than once, then not only do you lack punctuality, but you also lack decency and seriousness, which is certainly very annoying.”
Oscar Auliq-Ice

George Carlin
“In America, anyone can become president. That's the problem.”
George Carlin

E.L. Konigsburg
“Five minutes of planning are worth fifteen minutes of just looking.”
E.L. Konigsburg, Literature Guide: From the Mixed-up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler
