More quotes by Audrey Niffenegger
I love. I have loved. I will love.
Audrey Niffenegger
We laugh and laugh, and nothing can ever be sad, no one can be lost, or dead, or far away: right now we are here, and nothing can mar our perfection, or steal the joy of this perfect moment.
Audrey Niffenegger
…she smiles in an exhausted but warm sort of way, as though she is a brilliant sun in some other galaxy
Audrey Niffenegger
I don't want to boss anyone and I don't want to be bossed.
Audrey Niffenegger
Running is many things to me: survival, calmness, euphoria, solitude. It is proof of my corporeal existence, my ability to control my movement through space if not time, and the obedience, however temporary, of my body to my will. As I run I displace air, and things come and go around me, and the path moves like a filmstrip beneath my feet.
Audrey Niffenegger

Audrey Niffenegger
When somebody is that patient, you have to feel grateful, and then you want to hurt them. Does that make any sense?
Audrey Niffenegger

Audrey Niffenegger

Audrey Niffenegger
I breathe slowly and deeply. I make my eyes still under eyelids, I make my mind still, and soon, Sleep, seeing a perfect reproduction of himself, comes to be united with his facsimile.
Audrey Niffenegger
Think for a minute, darling: in fairy tales it's always the children who have the fine adventures. The mothers have to stay at home and wait for the children to fly in the window.
Audrey Niffenegger
We are often insane with happiness. We are also very unhappy for reasons neither of us can do anything about. Like being separated.
Audrey Niffenegger
we both smile and we are conspirators.
Audrey Niffenegger
I never understood why Clark Kent was so hell bent on keeping Lois Lane in the dark.
Audrey Niffenegger
My family isn't posh they're musicians.
Audrey Niffenegger
I told Ing once that she dances like a German and she didn't like it, but it's true: she dances seriously, like lives are hanging in the balance, like precision dancing can save the starving children of India.
Audrey Niffenegger
And Clare, always Clare.
Audrey Niffenegger
When it's over you look up: the world looks the same but you are somehow different and that feeling lingers for days.
Audrey Niffenegger
That's what alcoholics do. It's in their job description: fall apart and then keep falling apart.
Audrey Niffenegger
She looks up at me, still rocking. “Henry . . . why did me decide to do this again?” “Supposedly when it’s over they hand you a baby and let you keep it.” “Oh yeah.” --Wednesday, September 5, 2001
