Galt Niederhoffer
“The map was just an accessory. She knew exactly where she was.”
Galt Niederhoffer, The Romantics

Meg Wolitzer
“People like to warn you that by the time you reach the middle of your life, passion will begin to feel like a meal eaten long ago, which you remember with great tenderness.”
Meg Wolitzer, The Uncoupling

Patricia Highsmith
“I know you have it in you, Guy," Anne said suddenly at the end of a silence, "the capacity to be terribly happy.”
Patricia Highsmith, Strangers on a Train

Galt Niederhoffer
“There was something horribly depressing, she felt, about watching the weather report. That life could be planned like the perfect summer picnic drained it of spontaneity.”
Galt Niederhoffer, The Romantics

Galt Niederhoffer
“Technically, on the spectrum of very bad things, they did nothing truly wicked. But of course, that spectrum has no measure for the greatest of all carnal sins, the kind that occurs before skin touches skin, before wondering turns to yearning, yearning to having, having to holding for dear life, when two people cling to each other so desperately that even when they lie, inches apart, neither is fully satisfied until the light between them turns to darkness.”
Galt Niederhoffer, The Romantics
