Lionel Shriver Quotes

Outside, She Thought That There Ought To Be A Word For It: The Air Temperature That Was Perfectly Neither Hot Nor Cold. One Degree Lower, And She Might Have Felt A Faint Misgiving About Not Having Brought A Jacket. One Degree Higher, And A Skim Of Sweat Might Have Glistened At Her Hairline. But At This Precise Degree, She Required Neither Wrap Nor Breeze. Were There A Word For Such A Temperature, There Would Have To Be A Corollary For The Particular Ecstasy Of Greeting It - The Heedlessness, The Needlessness, The Suspended Lack Of Urgency, As If Time Could Stop, Or Should. Usually Temperature Was A Battle; Only At This Exact Fulcrum Was It An Active Delight.
