More quotes by Nick Hornby
It's no wonder we're all such a mess, is it? We're like Tom Hanks in Big. Little boys and girls trapped in adult bodies and forced to get on with it.
Nick Hornby
It's no good looking to writers for definitions of what constitutes proper writing, because you will drive yourself crazy, and you won't find anything that you can build into a coherent whole.
Nick Hornby
Definitely avoid going out with ugly girls who say they want to be models. Not because they're ugly, but because they're mad.
Nick Hornby
I couldn’t bear to think about the proper future, so I just tried to make things better for the next twenty minutes or so, over and over again.
Nick Hornby
You're not allowed to say anything about books because they're books, and books are, you know, God.
Nick Hornby
We were little animals, which is not to imply that by the end of the week we were tearing our tank tops off just that, metaphorically speaking, we had begun to sniff each other's bottoms, and we did not find the odor entirely repellent.
Nick Hornby
Even bad times have good things in them to make you feel alive.
Nick Hornby
I really don't want to be boring, and so many books are so boring!
Nick Hornby
On New Year's Eve he ould make a resolution to recover some his previous scepticism, but until then he would do as the Romans do, and smile at people even if he disapproved of them
Nick Hornby
I don't think you can call it stalking when it's just phone calls and letters and emails and knocking on the door.
Nick Hornby
When even the scrupulously detached BBC is exhorting us to talk to God, you know something is going on.
Nick Hornby
We're here for such a short amount of time. Why do we spend any of it building sandcastles?
Nick Hornby
He would read up on parenting, if he thought it would help, but his errors always seemed too basic for the manuals. Always tell your kids they have siblings... He couldn't imagine any child-raising guru taking the trouble to write that down. Maybe there was a gap in the market.
Nick Hornby
You have to work at relationships. You can’t just walk out on them every time something goes wrong.
Nick Hornby
I love the detail about the workings of the human heart and mind that only fiction can provide - film can't get in close enough.
Nick Hornby
I suddenly had a little epiphany: all the books we own, both read and unread, are the fullest expression of self we have at our disposal.
Nick Hornby
You don't ask people with knives in their stomachs what would make them happy happiness is no longer the point. It's all about survival it's all about whether you pull the knife out and bleed to death or keep it in.
Nick Hornby
When you get older, it feels like happy memories and sad memories are pretty much the same thing. It is all just emotion in the end. And any of it can make you weep.
Nick Hornby
I'd thought I'd live with my wife, but I couldn't find one.
Nick Hornby
...I feel as though I made a face and the wind changed, and now I have to go through life grimacing in this horrible way.
