Quote by Thomm Quackenbush

“This might be the answer and justify this seeming eternity of waiting. Or it could be nothing, but it would for once be a nothing they had sought and earned. It was a nothing that could suffice.”

“A drooping twist of his mouth had replaced the slightly mischievous smile. One could discern in his eyes, an uncertainty, a vacancy, a slowly creeping sense of certain death. Our words of reassurance were hollow and devoid of confidence: he ignored them. His bouts of sobbing became more frequent, but he didn't leap back to normality as he did earlier: he withdrew into a flat sullenness. It was as if he was bereft of all emotions, and there was nothing to express. There was just that waiting for death.”

“I’ve met a man and fallen in love with him. I allowed myself to fall in love for one simple reason: I’m not expecting anything to come of it. I know that, in three months’ time, I’ll be far away and he’ll be just a memory, but I couldn’t stand living without love any longer; I had reached my limit… Generally speaking, these meetings occur when we reach a limit, when we need to die and be reborn emotionally. These meeting are waiting for us, but more often than not, we avoid them happening. If we are desperate, though, if we have nothing to lose, or if we are full of enthusiasm for life, then the unknown reveals itself, and our universe changes directions.”

“I am waiting for one season to end and another to begin and for the menus to change--- for soft-boiled eggs and fiddlehead ferns in spring; for lobster claws cracked open and bathed in hot lashes of nasturtium butter in summer; for baked apples in thickened pools of heavy cream in fall; and finally for winter, season of prime rib and potatoes gratin, caviar and sweetbreads, and chocolate, chocolate, chocolate.”

“Winter comes, you wait for summer; summer comes, you wait for winter! You wait to retire, you wait for the government to change, you wait for the storm to pass, the fog to clear and the sun to come out, and you wait and wait! Don't wait, my friend, aren't you tired of waiting? You've grown old waiting! Live without waiting, leave the winter, the fog, this and that, don't wait!”
