The library is every child's lighthouse. It is every person's sanctuary. It is every town and county's fortress in the face of ignorance, intrusion and bad behavior.

More quotes by Amy Bloom
Marriage is not a ritual or an end. It is a long, intricate, intimate dance together and nothing matters more than your own sense of balance and your choice of partner.
Amy Bloom
All intimacy is rare-that's what makes it precious.
Amy Bloom
Some people are your family no matter when you find them, and some people are not, even if you are laid, still wet and crumpled, in their arms.
Amy Bloom
Boundaries are the lines we draw that mark off our autonomy and that of other people, that protect our privacy and that of others. Boundaries allow for intimate connection without dissolving or losing one's sense of self.
Amy Bloom
It takes something to get married: nerve, hope, a strong desire to make a certain statement - and it takes something to stay married: more hope, determination, a sense of humor, and needs that are best met by being in a pair.
Amy Bloom
Aging is a chance to make what was good, great, and what was never so good, better...
Amy Bloom
I met Jay Jonhson. I won him the way poor people occasionally win the lottery: Shameless perseverance and embarrassingly dumb luck, and every time I see one of those sly, toothless, beaten-down souls on TV holding a winning ticket, I think, Go, team.
Amy Bloom
I do not say what I feel, and people often take that for shyness, even kindness.
Amy Bloom
Men do not know what they do not know, and women should not tell them.
Amy Bloom
It is a wonderful, moving, heart-filling experience to sit with the man or woman you love and your beloved children and know that all are happy to be just where they are with each other and loving one another. This doesnt happen very often.
Amy Bloom
they danced as though they'd been waiting all their lives for each song.
Amy Bloom
Intimacy is being seen and known as the person you truly are.
Amy Bloom
Be real and unashamed. Even of your faults.
Amy Bloom
To hold happiness is to hold the understanding that the world passes away from us, that the petals fall and the beloved dies. No amount of mockery, no amount of fashionable scowling will keep any of us from knowing and savoring the pleasure of the sun on our faces or save us from the adult understanding that it cannot last forever.
Amy Bloom
I wasn't surprised to find myself in the back of Mr. Klein's store, wearing only my undershirt and panties, surrounded by sable.
Amy Bloom
Great sex is not a pleasant soak in the tub, with the scented candle burning. Great sex is more like a bomb exploding inside your right mind.
Amy Bloom
A blind man can see how much I love you
Amy Bloom
You cannot fake effort talent is great, but perseverance is necessary.
Amy Bloom
And sometimes we cling because the memory is so painful that we can't stop visiting it and hoping to make it come out differently. The risk of letting go is that we have to confront our own selves and our own possibilities.
Amy Bloom
There is no such thing as a good writer and a bad liar.
