Quote by Kerrigan Byrne

“To distract himself from the pain, he focused his blurring vision on the droplets of moisture collecting like diamonds in her abundant curls. Instead of making her hair heavy and straight, the rain seemed to coil the ringlets tighter and anoint the silvery strands with a darker gloss of spun gold.”

“His thoughts became as scattered and aimless as the rivulets sluicing down her lush curves. She was a goddess rising from the water. Like Botticelli's Birth of Venus, except with heavy silvery hair darkened by her bath that, unlike Venus, she didn't use to hide her feminine secrets. She stood with her chin held at an obstinate angle, her shoulders straight in an observance of good posture, those soft gray eyes staring at him with a mixture of resolution and expectation.”

“Ree Dolly stood at the break of day on her cold front steps and smelled coming flurries and saw meat. Meat hung from trees across the creek. Carcasses hung pale of flesh with fatty gleam from low limbs of saplings in the side yards. Three halt haggard houses formed a kneeling rank on the far creekside and each had two or more skinned torsos dangling by rope from sagged limbs, venison left to the weather for two nights and three days so the early blossoming of decay might round the flavor, sweeten that meat to the bone.”

“Os adultos gostam de números. Quando vocês lhes falam de um novo amigo, nunca se interessam pelo essencial. Nunca perguntam: “Qual é o som da voz dele? Que brincadeiras prefere? Coleciona borboletas?”. Indagam: “Que idade ele tem? Quantos irmãos tem? Quanto pesa? Quanto ganha o pai dele?”. Só aí julgam conhecê-lo. Se vocês disserem aos adultos: “Vi uma bela casa de tijolos cor-de-rosa, com gerânios nas janelas e pombas no telhado…”, eles não conseguirão imaginá-la. Vocês precisam dizer: “Vi uma casa de cem mil francos”. Então eles exclamam: “Que beleza!”
