1 " I stand and grab a hefty bottle of perfume from the bathroom shelf and return to the bedroom door. It’s not much of a weapon, I know, but it’s heavy and square, and hitting someone over the head with a glass brick has got to be better than bitch-slapping them. "

― Nick Alexander , The Case of the Missing Boyfriend (CC, #1)

2 " But do I really want my vagina to heal over through lack of use either? "

― Nick Alexander , The Case of the Missing Boyfriend (CC, #1)

3 " Barbara ne pose pas de question. elle ne veut pas savoir ce qui s'est passé. Ce qu'elle sait, c'est que chacun ici reçoit son lot de malheurs et qu'il ne sert à rien de les partager, qu'en parler ne fait qu'alourdir le fardeau des autres. C'est une immense leçon de vie qu'elle n'oubliera jamais. "

― Nick Alexander , The Photographer's Wife

4 " La peur est tellement envahissante, tellement omniprésente, qu'elle en devient presque normale. Il n'en demeure pas moins que vivre sous l'emprise de la peur, même quand elle ne vous quitte jamais, est une expérience éprouvante [...]. "

― Nick Alexander , The Photographer's Wife

5 " OK "

― Nick Alexander , Things We Never Said

6 " Malgré tout, elle se sent obligée d'assister à ce genre de vernissage. Elle doit se tenir au courant des dernières tendances et comprendre pourquoi ça marche. Par-dessus tout, il lui faut trouver un moyen d'insuffler une dose de l'engouement ambiant dans son propre travail. Mais comment faire ? Comment doit-elle s'y prendre pour que les gens s'extasient subitement devant ses photos à elle ? Peut-être faut-il choquer, tout simplement— et si c'était ça, le secret ? "

― Nick Alexander , The Photographer's Wife

7 " You meet people and sometimes they’re more important to you than you are to them. Sometimes you just have to give thanks for all the ways knowing them has changed you, and watch them walk away to pastures new. "

― Nick Alexander , Things We Never Said

8 " wierding me out "

― Nick Alexander , The Case of the Missing Boyfriend (CC, #1)

9 " all we ever see of each other is the representation we hold inside our own minds. "

― Nick Alexander , Things We Never Said

10 " Fridays! They are the worst. Days stuffed with itsy-bitsy multicoloured tasks that fill every second of the day, but like M&M´s fail to nourish in any way. "

― Nick Alexander , The Case of the Missing Boyfriend (CC, #1)

11 " As the red leaf warns: winter will be with us soon enough. If only I could bottle a little of this sunshine up and open it in January, like jam "

― Nick Alexander , The Case of the Missing Boyfriend (CC, #1)

12 " mean, they’ve admitted that the money won’t go to the NHS. And they’ve admitted we aren’t getting some fabulous trade deal. And they’ve said that immigration won’t even go down now, too. It’s as if everyone agrees that it’s a stupid idea, but everyone accepts that we’re going through with it anyway. It’s like a horrible toddler who has made a stupid decision but is sticking to it rather than admitting the error. It all smacks of cutting off your nose to spite your face more than anything else. Cutting off your continent "

― Nick Alexander , Things We Never Said

13 " No one really knows anyone. That’s amazing, isn’t it? We share everything, but we all have our secret gardens, too. We all have fantasies and fears and fetishes. We all have secrets about ourselves we don’t want to share. "

― Nick Alexander , Things We Never Said

14 " Break-ups are survivable. It´s the aftershocks that get you. "

― Nick Alexander , The Case of the Missing Boyfriend (CC, #1)

15 " There are moments in life- and I would have to admit that I don´t have them as often as I would like - when everything just comes together, and when, even being single, I feel happy, relaxed and confident. Some days, like today, I feel, as the French would say, so comfortable in my skin, that I could almost cry with the joy of being alive "

― Nick Alexander , The Case of the Missing Boyfriend (CC, #1)

16 " Air travel is such a strange experience. It´s such an intimate thing, to travel alongside a stranger for so many hours, to eat together, take in a film, snooze side by side. In economy I think that it´s so intimate, that like neighbours on the same landing, most of us consider that it´s better not to take the risk of ever getting to know them. In business class, there´s just enough room - as elbows don´t actually touch - to take that chance. "

― Nick Alexander , The Case of the Missing Boyfriend (CC, #1)

17 " A reasonable looking guy with a sense of humour to go to parties with: surely that´s not too much to ask, is it? "

― Nick Alexander , The Case of the Missing Boyfriend (CC, #1)

18 " Yep. It’s basically the same car as a VW Touareg, "

― Nick Alexander , The Other Son

19 " Don’t think you know what battles I had to fight to get where I am today. Don’t think you can even imagine what suffering we had to go through, what secrets we had to hide. You think you know everything but you know nothing. You don’t know me – you don’t know anyone. Because that’s what life is. It’s thinking you know everything, and thinking you know everyone, and finding out, the older you get, that you didn’t – that you had it all wrong.” - B. Marsden. "

― Nick Alexander , The Photographer's Wife

20 " [D]on't be so open minded that your brain falls out. "

― Nick Alexander
