Robert Charles Wilson

Robert Charles Wilson
Average people seldom talked about anything interesting and often hurt each other savagely.
Robert Charles Wilson
I loved Molly. Or at least I told myself I did. Or, if what I felt for her was not love, it was at least a plausible imitation, a convincing substitute.
Robert Charles Wilson
Times like this, with the wind moving the grass and curling around her like a huge cool hand, Tess felt the world as a second presence, as another person, as if the wind and the grass had voices of their own and she could hear them talking.
Robert Charles Wilson
An honest book is almost as good as a friend.
