Sara Gruen Quotes

I had my whole life planned.. I knew exactly where it was taking me Picture Quote #1

Life is the most spectacular show on earth? Picture Quote #1

Do you have any idea how much an elephant drinks? Picture Quote #1

Sometimes I think if I had to choose between an ear of corn or making love to a woman, I’d choose the corn Picture Quote #1

Afterward, I curl around her. We lie in silence until darkness falls, and then, haltingly, she begins to talk... She speaks without need or even room for response, so I simply hold her and stroke her hair. She talks of the pain, grief, and horror of the past four years; of learning to cope with being the wife of a man so violent and unpredictable his touch made her skin crawl and of thinking, until quite recently, that she’d finally managed to do that. And then, finally, of how my appearance had forced her to realize she hadn’t learned to cope at all Picture Quote #1

With a secret like that, at some point the secret itself becomes irrelevant. The fact that you kept it does not Picture Quote #1

I stroke her lightly, memorizing her body. I want her to melt into me, like butter on toast. I want to absorb her and walk around for the rest of my days with her encased in my skin. I lie motionless, savoring the feeling of her body against mine. I’m afraid to breathe in case I break the spell Picture Quote #1

Age is a terrible thief. Just when you’re getting the hang of life, it knocks your legs out from under you and stoops your back. It makes you ache and muddies your head and silently spreads cancer throughout your spouse Picture Quote #1

I was always searching, always seeking the next big thing, because that was the thing that was going to make everything all right again. And while I was working toward it, it gave me something to think about other than that thing I couldn’t put my finger on. But it always came back Picture Quote #1

When two people are meant to be together, they will be together. It’s fate Picture Quote #1

I just can’t. I’m married. I made my bed and now I have to lie in it Picture Quote #1

Is where you’re from the place you’re leaving or where you have roots? Picture Quote #1

When I first submerged my feet into frigid water, they hurt so badly I yanked them out again. I persisted, dunking them for longer and longer periods, until the cold finally blistered Picture Quote #1

When will people learn that just because you can make something doesn’t mean you should? Picture Quote #1

What else do I have to offer? Nothing happens to me anymore. That’s the reality of getting old, and I guess that’s really the crux of the matter. I’m not ready to be old yet Picture Quote #1

Although there are times I’d give anything to have her back, I’m glad she went first. Losing her was like being cleft down the middle. It was the moment it all ended for me, and I wouldn’t have wanted her to go through that Picture Quote #1

I hate this bizarre policy of protective exclusion, because it effectively writes me off the page Picture Quote #1

I just think I’m better equipped to make a study of human personality than trying to get into the mind of animals Picture Quote #1

I don’t like outlining, because books are organic things. Sometimes a book doesn’t want to be written in a certain way Picture Quote #1

... if you expect people to try to do things your way, you’re going to have to give some hints as to what that way is Picture Quote #1

At this moment, the story in his head was perfect. He also knew from experience that it would degenerate the second he started typing, because such was the nature of writing Picture Quote #1

I think there is just a vein of humanity that really loves animals and really loves to read about them Picture Quote #1

You work hard on a book and throw it out there and then it’s beyond your control Picture Quote #1

I tend not to think about the reading public at all, or the business, when I’m writing Picture Quote #1

I have to convince myself that this is not a pointless life, even the body is telling me so Picture Quote #1

I strain to hear, but my old ears, for all their obscene hugeness, pick up nothing but snippets: Picture Quote #1

Even when I look straight into the milky blue eyes I can’t find myself any more. When did I stop being me? Picture Quote #1

I cling to my anger with every ounce of humanity left in my ruined body, but it’s no use. It slips away, like a wave from shore. I am pondering this sad fact when I realize the blackness of sleep is circling my head. It’s been there awhile, biding it’s time and growing closer with each revolution. I give up on rage, which at this point has become a formality, and make a mental note to get angry again in the morning. Then I let myself drift, because there’s really no fighting it Picture Quote #1

I want her to melt into me, like butter on toast. I want to absorb her and walk around for the rest of my days with her encased in my skin. I want Picture Quote #1

The thought has cheered me, and I’d like to hang onto that. Must protect my little pockets of happiness Picture Quote #1
