Nicole Krauss Quotes

The Woman Who Later Became His Wife Was Sleeping In His Bed, Her Face Buried In The Pillows And Her Feet Crossed On Top Of Each Other Like A Child's. He Watched Her Sleep And Struggled To See Her As She Was, But What He Saw Instead Were Her Muscles And Bones. He Saw Right Through The Skin To Where Her Femur Connected To Her Tibia By Way Of The Ligaments, To The Hair Web Of Nerves And The Delicate Forest Of Her Lungs, To The Abstract Heart Pumping Blood Through Her Arteries. It Terrified Him How Easily These Systems Could Fail Her.
