More quotes by Cornell Woolrich
As for her perfume, it was the kind you only noticed after she'd left a room, not while she was still in it. Even then you didn't realize it was perfume, you only wondered what had made you think of her just then.
Cornell Woolrich

Cornell Woolrich
All guys are scared of each other, didn't you know that? I'm not the only one. We're all born afraid.
Cornell Woolrich
