Lionel Shriver Quotes

It’s an apathy so absolute that it’s like a hole you might fall in Picture Quote #1

People seem to get used to anything, and it is a short step from adaptation to attachment Picture Quote #1

Worse, the deadly accuracy of filial faultfinding is facilitated by access, by trust, by willing disclosure, and so constitutes a double betrayal Picture Quote #1

Half an ear cocked, something in me, all night, every night, is waiting for you to come home Picture Quote #1

Everything people do that doesn’t work has to be somebody else’s fault. Next time you know, geezers’ll be suing the government for getting old and kids’ll be taking their mommies to court because they came out ugly Picture Quote #1

Maybe the greatest favour a spouse can tender is to overlook what you can’t Picture Quote #1

Life is never easy so that is why I never lie about my age. I want credit for every damned year Picture Quote #1

In the big picture I write for an audience of people I’ve never met. By the final draft I’m looking for anything in the prose that’s prospectively boring to strangers Picture Quote #1

I thought at the time that I couldn’t be horrified anymore, or wounded. I suppose that’s a common conceit, that you’ve already been so damaged that damage itself, in its totality, makes you safe Picture Quote #1

When you’ve been afraid of something for long enough and it comes to pass, the terrible thing is a release. For in the belly of the badness there is no more fear Picture Quote #1

I was mortified by the prospect of becoming hopelessly trapped in someone else’s story Picture Quote #1
