Alice Sebold
What did dead mean, Ray wondered. It meant lost, it meant frozen, it meant gone.
Alice Sebold
I watched my brother and my father. The truth was very different from what we learned in school. The truth was the line between the living and the dead could be, it seemed, murky and blurred.
Alice Sebold
Heaven is comfort, but it's still not living.
Alice Sebold
Part of the creative process for me is an invitation for readers to follow their imagination.
Alice Sebold
I had always been in love with him. I counted the lashes of each closed eye. He had been my almost, my might have been, and I did not want to leave him
Alice Sebold
Our only kiss was like an accident- a beautiful gasoline rainbow.
Alice Sebold
Since then I've always thought that under rape in the dictionary it should tell the truth. It is not just forcible intercourse rape means to inhabit and destroy everything.
Alice Sebold
I loved the way the burned-out flashcubes of the Kodak Instamatic marked a moment that had passed, one that would now be gone forever except for a picture.
Alice Sebold
He had been my almost. My might-have-been. I was afraid of what I wanted most - His kiss. Still, I collected kiss stories. -Susie Salmon
Alice Sebold
He took the hat from my mouth. ''Tell me you love me'', he said. Gently I did. The end came anyway
Alice Sebold
