Alice Sebold Quotes

Once Released From Life, Having Lost It In Such Violence, I Couldn't Calculate My Steps. I Didn't Have Time For Contemplation. In Violence It Is The Getting Out That You Concentrate On. When You Begin To Go Over The Edge, Life Receding From You As A Boat Recedes Inevitably From The Shore, You Hold On To Death Tightly, Like A Rope That Will Transport You, And You Swing Out On It, Hoping To Land Away From Where You Are.
