Halldór Laxness
“If there is such a thing as sin, then it is a sin not to be able to play a musical instrument.”
Halldór Laxness, The Atom Station

Georgia   Scott
“When I think back those tides were like women with different scents and different demands. Low tide was fruity and cool. It took a while to get to her edge. Low tide held back. The onus was on you to go on over to her. High tide smelled of heat that built up. It was Chanel No. 5 to her drugstore opposite. She went after you in no uncertain terms.”
Georgia Scott, American Girl: Memories That Made Me

“Gentleman wanted:
must have clown-suit, powder and paint, scarlet quiff, scarlet heart.
Green eyebrows essential.
Should be able to dance,
laugh,
sing;
be a masked god on a high wire stretched from alpha to omega
over this fleapit, waiting for encores”.”
Ardengo Soffici

Halldór Laxness
“If there is any such thing as crime, then it is a crime to be uneducated.”
Halldór Laxness, The Atom Station

Georgia   Scott
“We're free agents. We can do what we want." Free agents. When my mother used those words she'd wave her keys. "We're like two bachelorettes," she'd say as we backed out of the drive. The road she took was always by the sea. Floods never put her off. "It'll pass" she'd say when I braced myself in the seat. If a wave hit the car, she'd drive on, floating sometimes for seconds. The wipers could clear off the sand and small stones. Seaweed was the problem. Not the one with poppers. That landed with a thud and rolled like a body off the windscreens. No, the problem was the smaller stuff, bright green and fine that wrapped itself like a feather boa around the side mirror. Usually, with one hand, she could throw it off. But sometimes, it took both her hands as if it were a scarf around Isadora Duncan's neck.”
Georgia Scott, American Girl: Memories That Made Me
