John D. MacDonald Quotes

I Had To Make A Guess About What Would Be Right And What Would Be Wrong For Her. I Had To Take A Risk. I Based The Risk On What I Know Of Loneliness, Of The Need Of Closeness In Loneliness. I Stroked Her, Totally Impersonal, The Way You Soothe A Terrified Animal. At First She Would Leap And Buck At The Slightest Touch. After A While There Was Only A Tremor When I Touched Her, And Finally That Too Was Gone. She Hiccuped And At Last Fell Down Into Sleep, Curled And Spent.
