Colm Toibin Quotes

You Know That You Are The Only Person Who Shakes His Head In Exasperation When I Insist On Making Jokes And Small Talk, When I Refuse To Be Direct. No One Else Has Ever Minded This As You Do. You Are Alone In Wanting Me Always To Say Something That Is True. I Know Now, As I Walk Towards The House I Have Rented Here, That If I Called And Toldyou That The Bitter Past Has Come Back To Me Tonight In These Alien Streets With A Force That Feels Like Violence, You Would Say That You Are Not Surprised. You Would Wonder Only Why It Has Taken Six Years.
