Zoe Heller Quotes
But About The Drip Drip Of Long-haul, No-end-in-sight Solitude, They Know Nothing. They Don't Know What It Is To Construct An Entire Weekend Around A Visit To The Laundrette. Or To Sit In A Darkened Flat On Halloween Night, Because You Can't Bear To Expose Your Bleak Evening To A Crowd Of Jeering Trick-or-treaters. Or To Have The Librarian Smile Pityingly And Say, 'Goodness, You're A Quick Reader!' When You Bring Back Seven Books, Read From Cover To Cover, A Week After Taking Them Out. They Don't Know What It Is To Be So Chronically Untouched That The Accidental Brush Of A Bus Conductor's Hand On Your Shoulder Sends A Jolt Of Longing Straight To Your Groin.
