Meg Mason
“It is too much work to explain to them that you can stop and start again from nothing, that you can love the same person twice”
― Meg Mason, Sorrow and Bliss

Meg Mason
“That I’m not good at being a person. I seem to find it more difficult to be alive than other people.”
― Meg Mason, Sorrow and Bliss

Meg Mason
“No marriage makes sense. Especially not to the outside world. A marriage is its own world.”
― Meg Mason, Sorrow and Bliss

Meg Mason
“You are standing still and then you're falling down a flight of stairs, but you don't know who pushed you. There is no one behind you.”
― Meg Mason, Sorrow and Bliss

Meg Mason
“Everything is broken and messed up and completely fine. That is what life is. It’s only the ratios that change. Usually on their own. As soon as you think that’s it, it’s going to be like this forever, they change again.” That is what life was, and how it continued for three years after that. The ratios changing on their own, broken, completely fine, a holiday, a leaking pipe, new sheets, happy birthday, a technician between nine and three, a bird flew into the window, I want to die, please, I can’t breathe, I think it’s a lunch thing, I love you, I can’t do this anymore, both of us thinking it would be like that forever.”
― Meg Mason, Sorrow and Bliss
