Text Quotes
It’s sadness coming on like the old days, the vast seamless hopeless weight of sadness looking for a place to rest. (Tim Winton Quotes)
I came home at dusk with my ears ringing from the quiet (Tim Winton Quotes)
It’s the pointless things that give your life meaning. Friendship, compassion, art, love. All of them pointless. But they’re what keeps life from being meaningless. (Tim Winton Quotes)
I liked books - the respite and privacy of them - books about plants and the formation of ice and the business of world wars. Whenever I sank into them I felt free (Tim Winton Quotes)
The desert is a spiritual place, we vaguely understand, and the sea the mere playground of our hedonism (Tim Winton Quotes)
Surviving is the strongest memory I have; the sense of having walked on water (Tim Winton Quotes)
People are fools, not monsters (Tim Winton Quotes)
I love the sea but it does not love me. The sea is like a desert in that it is quite rightly feared. The sea and the desert are both hungry, they have things to be getting on with so you do not go into them lightly (Tim Winton Quotes)
It’s sadness coming on like the old days, the vast seamless hopeless weight of sadness looking for a place to rest (Tim Winton Quotes)
And the sun on the wall of her room, the block of sun with all the tiny flying things in it. When she was little she thought they were the souls of dead insects, still buzzing in the light (Tim Winton Quotes)
It’s dark already and I’m out here again, talking, telling the story to the quiet night (Tim Winton Quotes)
I just sit here and tell the story as though I can’t help it. There’s always something in the day that reminds me, that sets me off all hot and guilty and scared and rambling and wistful, like I am now (Tim Winton Quotes)
It’s terrifying to think you can remember things you shouldn’t possibly be able to. It’s like that childhood fear of having your soul slip from your body in your sleep. The darkness, those black sheets of glass sliding over you, upping the pressure, pushing you through the time and space and story (Tim Winton Quotes)
The night is full of stories. They float up like miasmas, as though the dead leave their dreams in the earth where you bury them, only to have them rise to meet you in sleep. Mostly the scenes are familiar, but sometimes everything is strange, the people unknown (Tim Winton Quotes)
There is nowhere else I’d rather be, nothing else I would prefer to be doing. I am at the beach looking west with the continent behind me as the sun tracks down to the sea. I have my bearings (Tim Winton Quotes)
The beachcomber goes looking for trouble, everything he finds is a sign of trouble. The writer is the same; without trouble he has nothing to work with, so he picks over the tide line, over the bits and pieces of people’s lives with grim fascination (Tim Winton Quotes)
The ocean is a supreme metaphor for change. I expect the unexpected but am never fully prepared (Tim Winton Quotes)
It’s the pointless things that give your life meaning. Friendship, compassion, art, love. All of them pointless. But they’re what keeps life from being meaningless (Tim Winton Quotes)
For every moment the sea is peace and relief, there is another when it shivers and stirs to become chaos. It’s just as ready to claim as it is to offer (Tim Winton Quotes)
Somewhere a bicycle bell rings. Somewhere else there’s a war on. Somewhere else people turn to shadows and powder in an instant and the streets turn to funnels and light the sky with their burning. Somewhere a war is over (Tim Winton Quotes)
And though I’ve lived to be an old man with my very own share of happiness for all the mess I made, I still judge every joyous moment, every victory and revelation against those few seconds of living (Tim Winton Quotes)
When you’re surfing you’re not thinking about where you parked the car or what you’re going to do when you grow up or what you’re going to buy when you’ve got lots of money. You know, you’re just there. You’re in the moment. And I think in a contemporary world, that’s a rare privilege (Tim Winton Quotes)
It’s how I fill the time when nothing’s happening. Thinking too much, flirting with melancholy (Tim Winton Quotes)
When I was a girl I had this strong feeling that I didn’t belong anywhere,... It was in my head, what I thought and dreamt, what I believed..., that’s where I belonged, that was my country (Tim Winton Quotes)
Will you look at us by the river! The whole restless mob of us on spread blankets in the dreamy briny sunshine skylarking and chiacking about for one day, one clear, clean, sweet day in a good world in the midst of our living. Yachts run before an unfelt gust with bagnecked pelicans riding above them, the city their twitching backdrop, all blocks and points of mirror light down to the water’s edge (Tim Winton Quotes)
We rise to a challenge and set a course. We take a decision. You put your mind to something. Just deciding to do it gets you halfway there. Daring to try (Tim Winton Quotes)
It’s funny, but you never really think much about breathing. Until it’s all you ever think about (Tim Winton Quotes)
