Adam Haslett Quotes

I Don't Know What Most People Mean When They Use The Word Love. If They Haven't Contorted Their Lives Around A Hope Sharp Enough To Bleed Them Empty, Then I Think They're Just Kidding. A Hope Undoes What Tiny Pride You Have, And Makes You Thankful For The Undoing, So Long As It Promises Another Hour With The Person Who Is Now The World. Maybe People Mean Attractiveness, Or Affection, Or Pleasantness, Or Security. Like The Nonbelievers In Church Who Enjoy The Hymns Or Go For The Sens Of Community, But Avert Their Eyes From The Cross. I Feel Sorry For Them. They Are Dead Before Their Time.
