Cornell Woolrich Quotes

It’s hard to say goodbye for good at any time or any place. It’s harder still to say it through a meshed wire. It crisscrossed his face into little diagonals, gave me only little broken-up molecules of it at a time. It stenciled a cold, rigid frame around every kiss Picture Quote #1

Being broke didn’t seem so awful as it had yesterday, being broke but being at peace with the world.(Don’t Wait Up For Me Tonight) Picture Quote #1

You can always tell a car door, no other door sounds quite like it.(New York Blues) Picture Quote #1

I had that trapped feeling, like some sort of a poor insect that you’ve put inside a downturned glass, and it tries to climb up the sides, and it can’t, and it can’t, and it can’t Picture Quote #1

I hate the world. Everything comes into it so clean and goes out so dirty. (from COVER CHARGE - currently not listed) Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Each unto himself has his own world that he looks out upon, and though someone else were to stand on the very selfsame inch of ground your feet were placed upon, guided by chalk marks, he would not see the same things you did Picture Quote #1

I was trying to cheat death. I was only trying to surmount for a little while the darkness that all my life I surely knew was going to come rolling in on me some day and obliterate me. I was only to stay alive a little brief while longer, after I was already gone Picture Quote #1

Time is strange. A moment can be as short as a breath, or as long as eternity Picture Quote #1

It isn’t dying I’m afraid of, it isn’t that at all; I know what it is to die, I’ve died already. It is the endless obliteration, the knowledge that there will never be anything else. That’s what I can’t stand, to try so hard and to end in nothing. You know what I mean, don’t you?... I really loved to write Picture Quote #1

You see, this would be a death by the imagination. And though the imagination feeds on phantoms, it needs a premise in reality to begin with. Then it can go on from there under its own power Picture Quote #1

I think fear neutralizes alcohol, weakens its anesthetic power. It’s good for small fears; your boss, your wife, your bills, your dentist; all right then to take a drink. But for big ones it doesn’t do any good. Like water on blazing gasoline, it will only quicken and compound it. It takes sand, in the literal and the slang sense, to smother the bonfire that is fear. And if you’re out of sand, then you must burn up Picture Quote #1

All guys are scared of each other, didn’t you know that? I’m not the only one. We’re all born afraid Picture Quote #1

It’s just some instinct as old as fear: you seek the dark when you hide, you seek the light when the need to hide is gone. All the animals have it too Picture Quote #1
