Sarah Hall Quotes

That boy may have been born on third base but he sure as shit ain’t scored a triple.

Let him join the men of the past. Her old lovers were ghosts. None of them had survived; none were missed.

You’ve found that there is something that can make you feel, and make you feel present: sex. Not the routine, dusk-and-dawn sex of a trusted, established relationship, but illicit, dangerous sex. Sex that is novel and leaves you sore; that is experienced in the gaps between your mundane, moral life; that is strange and breathless and addictive.

The two of you are different now, calmer. There is still sex, occasionally, but is no longer a priority to seduce or be seduced by him.
