Denise Mina Quotes

She Walked Through The Underpass At The Elephant And Castle, Enjoying The Sense That Nothing Really Mattered, Not The Truth About The Past, Nor Whether They Believed Her, Not Winnie's Drinking Or Vik's Ultimatum. It Was The Perfect Place To Escape From A Painful Past. She Could Waste Years At Home Trying To Make Sense Of A Random Series Of Events. There Was No Meaning, No Lessons To Be Learned, No Moral - None Of It Meant Anything. She Could Spend Her Entire Life Trying To Weave Meaning Into It, Like Compulsive Gamblers And Their Secret Schema. Nothing Mattered, Really, Because An Anonymous City Is The Moral Equivalent Of A Darkened Room. She Understood Why Ann Had Come Here And Stayed Here And Died Here. It Wouldn't Be Hard. All She Had To Do Was Let Go Of Home. She Would Phone Leslie And Liam Sometimes, Say She Was Fine, Fine, Let The Calls Get Farther Apart, Make Up A Life For Herself And They'd Finally Forget.
