“All I meant was that people take their same old lives wherever they go. No place is perfect enough to strip you of that. And some places have a way of magnifying your demons, or of, I don't know, giving them pep pills.” PeopleKnowsWayGivingEnoughPerfectDemonPillsMagnifyingOld LifePep Book:Three Junes Source: Three Junes
“Time plays like an accordion in the way it can stretch out and compress itself in a thousand melodic ways. Months on end may pass blindingly in a quick series of chords, open-shut, together-apart; and then a single melancholy week may seem like a year's pining, one long unfolding note.” WayYearsMayLongEndsPlaySeemsTogetherWeekMonthsThousandSeriesNotesMelancholyChordsUnfoldingPiningAccordions Book:Three Junes Source: Three Junes
“I grew up in a home where animals were ever-present and often dominated our lives. There were always horses, dogs, and cats, as well as a revolving infirmary of injured wildlife being nursed by my sister the aspiring vet. Without any conscious intention on my part, animals come to play a significant role in my fiction: in Three Junes, a parrot and a pack of collies; in The Whole World Over, a bulldog named The Bruce. To dog lovers, by the way, I recommend My Dog Tulip by J. R. Ackerley -- by far the best 'animal book' I've ever read.” WorldWayWellsBookPlayWholeHomeThreeAnimalFictionRolesOur LivesDogGrewLoversGrew UpConsciousCatHorseIntentionSignificantWhole WorldMy SisterPacksMy DogJuneInjuredWildlifeDog LoverParrotsVetsCat And DogRevolvingBulldogsCollies Author:Julia Glass
