More quotes by Amy Bloom

Amy Bloom
Intimacy is being seen and known as the person you truly are.
Amy Bloom

Amy Bloom

Amy Bloom

Amy Bloom
Everyone has two memories. The one you can tell and the one that is stuck to the underside of that, the dark, tarry smear of what happened.
Amy Bloom

Amy Bloom

Amy Bloom
I am interested in the gaps between one piece of sidewalk and the next. I am interested in the things for which we dont always have a name, and the things that are not easy to articulate - the difference between what we think and how we feel.
