Alice Sebold
Between a man and a woman there was always one person who was stronger than the other one. That doesn’t mean the weaker one doesn’t love the stronger.
Alice Sebold
Who would have thought something that happened that long ago could have such power?
Alice Sebold
She liked to imagine that when she passed the world looked after her, but she also knew how anonymous she was.
Alice Sebold
I have always felt extremely weird. But I am very happy with my weirdnesses, and I want other people to be very happy with theirs.
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
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 took the hat from my mouth. ''Tell me you love me'', he said. Gently I did. The end came anyway
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
Before, they had never found themselves broken together. Usually, it was one needing the other but not both needing each other, and so there had been a way, by touching, to borrow from the stronger one's strength.
