Quote by McCaid Paul

“While I listen to Grandma’s story, I realize something: one day, I’m going to miss this. One day, life will snatch away moments like this, nothing left but a memory. But for now, I sit back and I listen, drinking tea, shelling peas, and laughing so hard my ribs hurt. And for once, I don’t worry about what comes next.”

“He felt a little less paranoid, and Cole was right—they weren’t boys. They were men capable of taking care of their own. It came down to him wanting to do their dirty work for them. But they were good. They’d be fine. Instead he needed to work on getting the violence out of his system. It was his go-to drug. He actually couldn’t think of a conflict he hadn’t fought or killed his way out of. To stand in front of Eve again, he needed to handle himself differently.”

“A terhessé vált, autóból kidobva sorsára hagyott kutya napokig keresi a gazdáit, nem eszik, és szemlátomást igencsak szenved. Aki így szabadul meg egykori kedvencétől, az rendszerint azzal ámítja magát, hogy a kutya csak egy állat. Nem is gondol arra, hogy éppen úgy képes a szenvedésre, mint az ember, s a kutya az a kivételes állat, amely eltaszítását az emberhez, az embergyerekhez hasonlóan éli meg.”

“Back then the towering gums marched down to the water and the area was sparsely populated with fibro weekenders - simple cottages and boat sheds - mainly owned by coal miners from the nearby Hunter Valley. My grandfather worked in the mines. He'd lend my family the one room boffy attached to his boasted almost every school holiday, and I have such vivid memories of jumping off his jetty and boiling crabs for dinner and fishing with a line wrapped around a piece of cork and playing in the rock pools and parking about in his tin runabout.”

“I wonder if there's a single place in the whole world that's never had a story. I bet not. I just about guarantee you there's no places like that in America. Every little square of it, every place you stomp your foot, that's where something happened. Something wild, maybe something nobody knows about, but something. You can fall out of the sky and right into some forgotten storybook. You run and run and run and you keep turning pages and none of them are empty. They're all full of stories. There's nowhere left to write. I think I'm just a bookmark.”
