More quotes by Janet Fitch
A cliché is like a coin that has been handled too much. Once language has been overly handled, it no longer leaves a clear imprint.
Janet Fitch
When I read, I want to be fully transported to another place. I want to feel things, smell things.
Janet Fitch
echo, the death of a sound that had nowhere to go but to come back.
Janet Fitch
How can I shed tears for a man I should never have allowed to touch me in any way?
Janet Fitch
I imagined my soul taking in these words like silicated water in the Petrified Forest, turning my wood to patterned agate. I liked it when my mother shaped me this way. I thought clay must feel happy in the good potter's hand.

Love could never bloom in a concrete block room.

Janet Fitch
How easy I was. Like a limpet I attached myself to anything, anyone who showed me the least attention.
Janet Fitch
I wanted to hear what she was saying. I wanted to smell that burnt midnight again, I wanted to feel that wind. It was a secret wanting, like a song I couldn't stop humming, or loving someone I could never have. No matter where I went, my compass pointed west. I would always know what time it was in California.
Janet Fitch
history only existed in the human mind, subject to endless revision. 'each man kills the thing he loves'-Oscar Wilde. You kill it before it kills you, but he was wrong. you killed it by accident. thinking you were doing something else. shattering, when all you wanted to do was keep it safe.
Janet Fitch
And if there is no god? You act as if there is, and it's the same thing.
Janet Fitch
She was not used to being cruel, but he had taught her how.
Janet Fitch
