Nicole Krauss
“...after all, who isn't a survivor from the wreck of childhood?”
Nicole Krauss, Great House

Nicole Krauss
“The kiss stayed there with no place to go, no sensory reserve that could absorb it and file it away as a common act of intimacy, a thousand times received. He knew what Anna was asking: whether you could love someone without habits.”
Nicole Krauss, Man Walks into a Room

Nicole Krauss
“There are moments when a kind of clarity comes over you, and suddenly you can see through walls to another dimension that you'd forgotten or chosen to ignore in order to continue living with the various illusions that make life, particularily life with other people, possible.”
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

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
