More quotes by Martine Leavitt
Demonstrate talent, said Grandmother often to me, and you will still be loved by a husband when beauty has faded.
Martine Leavitt
His [Death] voice is cold at first, John. It seems unfeeling. But if you listen without fear, you find that when he speaks, the most ordinary words become poetry. When he stands close to you, your life becomes a song, a praise. When he touches you, your smallest talents become gold the most ordinary loves break your heart with their beauty.
Martine Leavitt
I have observed that you treat a man as an old garment to be taken apart and stitched again. Perhaps you could think of him as good cloth, rich fabric that wants only to be embroidered upon. And perhaps, if you will do that, you will see that you love Tailor yourself.
Martine Leavitt
Each man, when he dies, sees the landscape of his own soul.
Martine Leavitt
Living to an extraordinary age, she mourned them all equally as she buried her husband and, one by one, her children. In this suffering she found the best sort of perfection--the kind that never demands it of others.
Martine Leavitt
Papa loves you with a dying and infernal love, the youngest girl said. Undying, the eldest girl corrected. And eternal.
Martine Leavitt
It is life that hurts you not death.
Martine Leavitt
These are the best reasons to do anything in life. People who say things like this are the kind of people who change the world. Who prevent the world from ending. Or at least they can change the inner world of a reader and that is a sacred power.
