Famous Paula Hawkins Quotes

“I miss him every day. More than anyone, I think. He’s the big hole in my life, in the middle of my soul. Or maybe he was just the beginning of it. I don’t know. I don’t even know whether all this is really about Ben, or whether it’s about everything that happened after that, and everything that’s happened since. All I know is, one minute I’m ticking along fine and life is sweet and I want for nothing, and the next I can’t wait to get away, I’m all over the place, slipping and sliding again.”

“Жити так, як я живу на сьогоднішній день, куди важче влітку, коли забагато денного світла і так мало темряви; коли всі гуляють, коли всі кричуще, настирливо щасливі. Це виснажує, людина погано почувається, якщо не приєднується до загального щастя.”

“I don't remember things. I black out and I can't remember where I've been or what I've done. Sometimes I wonder if I've done or said terrible things, and I can't remember. And if...if someone tells me something I've done, it doesn't even feel like me. it doesn't feel like it was me who was doing that thing. And it's so hard to feel responsible for something you don't remember. So I never feel bad enough. i feel bad, but the thing that i've done --it's removed from me. It's like it doesn't belong to me.”

“Who's to say that once I run, I'll find that isn't enough? Who's to say I won't end up feeling exactly the way I do right now-not safe, but stifled? Maybe I'll want to run again, and again, and eventually I'll end up back on those old tracks, because there's nowhere left to go. Maybe. Maybe not. You have to take the risk, don't you”

“I thought rape was something a bad man did to you, a man who jumped out at you in an alleyway in the dead of night, a man who held a knife to your throat. I didn't think boys did it. Not schoolboys like Robbie, not good-looking boys, the ones who go out with the prettiest girls in town. I didn't think they did it to you in your own living room, I didn't think they talked to you about it afterwards and asked you if you'd had a good time. I just thought I must have done something wrong, that I hadn't made it clear enough that I didn't want it.”

“¿Qué podría haber dicho si alguien le hubiera preguntado? ¿Cómo podría haberlo explicado cuando todos los demás amores se ven como relaciones subordinadas al amor romántico? Lo que Vanessa y ella tenían no era romántico ni tampoco había subordinación alguna. «Solo una amiga», es lo que dice la gente. «Ah, no es más que una amiga.» Como si una amiga fuera algo normal y corriente, como si una amiga no pudiera significarlo todo.”

“Su aspecto no parece amenazador, pero Grace es consciente de que no tiene sentido deducir el nivel de amenaza de alguien por su apariencia. No se puede inferir la propensión a la violencia de un hombre en base a sus pintas. Ella ha ensalmado huesos rotos por manos suaves, ha cosido cortes infligidos por hombres de sonrisa fácil y buena fachada, ha conocido bestias de rostro angelical.”

“Ahora que mi esperanza, antaño violenta, es algo pequeño y patético, he de ser práctica. He de pensar qué sucederá cuando ya no esté. A una parte de mí le da igual. ¿Qué más da? Al fin y al cabo, una vida no es una colección de cosas. ¿Qué más da lo que dejamos atrás si las olas no paran de romper, implacables y ajenas a todo? ¿Qué más da, si un día — probablemente dentro de no mucho — esta isla estará bajo el mar, y también la casa, y el peñasco y todos los huesos que alberga? Por alguna razón, importa. Lo que dejas atrás importa. El arte que creaste, o la gente. Los amigos a los que quisiste. El bien que hiciste, el mal.”
