Nicole Krauss
“When at last I came upon the right book, the feeling was violent: it blew open a hole in me that made life more dangerous because I couldn't control what came through it.”
Nicole Krauss, Great House

“There are seasons vaster and subtler than the cycles of the year. After a time of harmony the world begins to darken.”
Roderick MacLeish, Prince Ombra

Nicole Krauss
“Sometimes I get the feeling that we're just a bunch of habits. The gestures we repeat over and over, they're just our need to be recognized. Without them, we'd be unidentifiable. We have to reinvent ourselves every minute.”
Nicole Krauss, Man Walks into a Room

Nicole Krauss
“There are times when the kindness of strangers only makes things worse because one realizes how badly one is in need of kindness and that the only source is a stranger.”
Nicole Krauss, Great House

Nicole Krauss
“When I was with Yoav, everything in me that had been sitting stood up. He had a way of looking at me with a kind of unabashed directness that made me shiver. It's something amazing to feel that for the first time someone is seeing you as you really are, not as they wish you, or you wish yourself, to be.”
Nicole Krauss, Great House
