“There's the ambiguity of human relationships, for instance. A relationship between two people, just like a sequence of words, is ambiguous if it is open to different interpretations. And if two people do have differing views about their relationship - I don't just mean about its state, I mean about its very nature - then that difference can affect the entire course of their lives.” PeopleIfsHumansMeanTwoDifferentStatesCoursesDifferencesViewsInstanceInterpretationSequenceAmbiguityHuman RelationshipsAmbiguousDifferent InterpretationsDiffering Views Author:Elliot Perlman
“You don't need to be seeing someone to be in love with her. You can have lost touch with her, she can have hurt you, even inexplicably. If you ever felt that you really knew her and that it was what you knew that you loved, and if you remember what it was you once knew, why is it so crazy to retain that love still?” IfsNeedsStillsRememberLostFeltHurtSeeingCrazy Author:Elliot Perlman
“At difficult times of my life, books have been an incredible comfort. When I was 12, I changed schools and my parents split up. It was then that I became addicted to reading. A great writer can attach themselves to your mind and heart, and you feel you understand the world better. As long as you have the capacity to read, you needn't be alone any more. I remember thinking as a child, "If I could give one person the comfort I keep getting from books, then I want to write."” IfsThinkingWorldWantGivingFeelsWritingMindHeartChildrenPersonsLongHas BeensArtBookSchoolRememberMotivationReadingParentDifficultChangedComfortCapacityIncrediblesIf I CouldSplitsHeart And MindDifficult TimesGreat WritersTime Of My Life Author:Elliot Perlman
