Gabriel Tallent
“Hold tight to the world and do not let go and do not fuck this up.”
Gabriel Tallent, My Absolute Darling

Daphne du Maurier
“The smell of coffee, white dust, tobacco and burnt bread, flowers with a fragrance of wine, and the crimson fruit, soft and overripe. A girl looking over her bare shoulder, with a flash of a smile, gold ear-rings showing from thick black hair brushed away from her face, long arms, a cigarette between her lips. Night like a great dark blanket, voices murmuring at a street corner, the air warm with tired flowers, and a hum from the sea.”
Daphne du Maurier, I'll Never Be Young Again

Judith Rossner
“He smiled. 'Now I have you in a cage.And whenever I want you,I'll take you out, and when I've done with you, I'll set you back in.”
Judith Rossner, Emmeline

Gail Honeyman
“She looked at him with so much love that I had to turn away. At least I know what love looks like, I told myself. That's something. No one had ever looked at me like that, but I'd be able to recognize it if they ever did.”
Gail Honeyman, Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine
tags: hurt, love

Gail Honeyman
“When the silence and the aloneness press down and around me, crushing me, carving through me like ice, I need to speak aloud sometimes, if only for proof of life.”
Gail Honeyman, Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine
