What did dead mean, Ray wondered. It meant lost, it meant frozen, it meant gone.
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
She no longer believed in talk. It never rescued anything.
Alice Sebold
At the tips of the feathers there is air and at their base: blood. I hold up bones I wish like broken glass they could court light....still I try to place these pieces back together, to set them firm, to make murdered girls live again.
Alice Sebold
People grow up by living.
Alice Sebold
Life is a perpetual yesterday for us.
Alice Sebold
I forgive you, I said. I said what I had to. I would die by pieces to save myself from real death.
Alice Sebold
For me, heaven would be a lack of alienation. The whole time I was growing up, I felt comfort was inherently evil. I think that for me heaven isn't about couches and milk shakes and never having a troubling thought again.
Alice Sebold
I missed her then but it was an odd sort of missing because by then, I knew the meaning of forever.
Alice Sebold
I had rescued the moment by using my camera and in that way had found how to stop time and hold it. No one could take that image away from me because I owned it.
