“Woolrich had a genius for creating types of story perfectly consonant with his world: the noir cop story, the clock race story, the waking nightmare, the oscillation thriller, the headlong through the night story, the annihilation story, the last hours story. These situations, and variations on them, and others like them, are paradigms of our position in the world as Woolrich sees it. His mastery of suspense, his genius (like that of his spiritual brother Alfred Hitchcock) for keeping us on the edge of our seats and gasping with fright, stems not only from the nightmarish situations he conjured up but from his prose, which is compulsively readable, cinematically vivid, high-strung almost to the point of hysteria, forcing us into the skins of the hunted and doomed where we live their agonies and die with them a thousand small deaths.”

“The heavy rain dripped off his thick leather hat and sloshed on the dry hard ground. To someone with a soul, it might have been peaceful, pretty, even to watch the drops bounce and form graceful puddles before they disappeared into the cracks in the Earth. Daniel Marlin merely cursed. He only saw the weather as another delay before they could rescue their brother from jail. He turned the horse back into the copse of trees, hating to admit defeat.”

“There’s no point in fighting me on this. Wherever you go, one, or both of us will be with you. Period. Get used to it. Short of actually sleeping on your doorstep, I’m going to follow you everywhere. I’m going to be so close that if you turn your head for a breath I’ll be there to give you mouth-to-mouth. So, you may as well just give in and take me with you. It’ll save us both a lot of time and frustration.”

“मैं जानकी को आवाज़ लगाने ही वाला था कि मेरी नज़र खूँटी पर टंगे हुए कुछ कपड़ों पर पड़ी. बहुत ही सुन्दर डिज़ाइन की हरे रंग की एक चुन्नी, उसी के साथ टंगे हुए थे लम्बे-लम्बे स्कर्ट्स व ढीले-ढाले टाइप के ब्लाउज़. फिर मेरी नज़र चप्पलों और सैंडलों पर पड़ी. सारे कपड़े व चप्पलें किसी बालिग़ लड़की के ही लगते थे. जब मैंने जानकी से इस विषय में पूछा तो उसने बताया कि पिछली बार जब माँ बैतूल गयीं थीं तब वहां मज़दूर प्रधान की नाती नर्मदा से मिलीं. नर्मदा तब बीमार थी. उसका अच्छा इलाज हो सके इसलिए माँ उसे अपने साथ ही भोपाल ले आईं थीं. नर्मदा का चंचलपन, उसकी सुरीली आवाज़, उसकी सुंदरता, उसका गोरा रंग, उसकी काली आँखें, काले-घने बाल माँ को भा गए. नर्मदा की साफ़-सफाई एवं रहन-सहन देखकर माँ उसे अपनी बेटी की तरह प्यार देने लगीं. नर्मदा का संक्षिप्त परिचय सुनाकर जानकी ने मुझे आश्चर्य में डाल दिया. मैं नर्मदा के प्रति सोचने लगा. ‘नर्मदा’ – इस नाम को मैंने पहले भी कई बार सुना था. नर्मदा बेशक एक भोली-भाली लड़की थी, परन्तु वह बहुत ही सुन्दर तथा आकर्षक व्यक्तित्व की है, ऐसा मैंने सुना था. - हिंदी उपन्यास ‘नर्मदा’ से, पृष्ठ संख्या - 5”

“What’s your version of the perfect guy?” “I guess I’d like someone who proves he cares by his actions instead of just saying it all the time.” “That’s reasonable.” “And I’d like someone who has his own life, too. You know I work a lot of hours at the hospital, and I like what I do. I imagine I’d come to resent a guy who expects me to work a nine-to-five schedule just because it fits his needs.” “Anything else?” “But he still has to be—” she cut herself off. “Good in bed?”
