Adam Haslett Quotes

It's Not Until She Sits Up And Wipes Her Eyes That I Realize She's Crying. My Words Are Like Knives; They Cut Into The People I Love. It Will Be Worse If You Touch Her, I Think, A Worse Lie. But I Ignore This Thought, Shifting Down The Bench To Put My Arm Around Her - My Daughter - And As I Do, She Weeps Openly, Pressing Her Face Against My Damp Shirt.
