Quote by Janice Kay Johnson

“Once again time blurred—or maybe it had ever since the crash. Had that really happened today? Was she forgetting a night? Maddy clung to a picture in her mind of Will Gannon, alarmingly tall as he looked down at her. That too-bony face with a nose that didn’t seem to quite belong, but eyes that were kinder than she deserved, considering she was holding a gun on him. Hearing that deep, husky voice saying, I was shot, so you’ll excuse me if I don’t love seeing that gun pointing at me.”

“A drawing of a tree shows not a tree, but a tree being looked at. From each glance, a drawing assembles a little evidence. But it consists of many glances, seen together.

A drawing is static because it encompasses time.”

“Proprio come assumere alcol o droghe oppure fumare, spendere soldi che non si hanno per un qualcosa che ci darà solo un giorno di evasione non ha un senso logico. Eppure spesso è l'unico mezzo di fuga, per quanto temporanea, dall'aggressione violenta e incessante del mondo. Tali azioni (spendere soldi che non si hanno, bere o fare uso di droghe, fumare) sono forme di pulsione di morte, ovvero di un desiderio inconscio di distruggere tutto per poter ricominciare daccapo. Azioni simili, con i rischi che comportano, fungono solo da fuga momentanea dalla condizione di morti viventi in cui ci si trova a causa della melanconia.”
