1 " It's not a romance, it's a love story. "
― Sadie Jones
2 " There was a sudden stillness like the gap between ticks on a clock, but the next tick never coming. "
― Sadie Jones , The Outcast
3 " He was like a damaged bird. And they always die, she thought. "

5 " I don't think I've changed at all,' said Emerald, knowing herself to be lying, but there was a mist between her and her childhood self, made up of grief and multiple small denials, and she did not care to try to look through it. "
― Sadie Jones , The Uninvited Guests
6 " The night they decided to leave London Bea had a dream. "
7 " Attention, taken to its highest degree, is the same thing as prayer. It’s bigger than addiction, and personal power. It’s losing the self through being present. "
8 " Charlotte looked about her, haunted, at the edifying squareness of Sterne’s hall. ‘It’s a great mistake ever to imagine one is home,’ she said brokenly and sank onto the bottom stair. "
9 " A personality quiz had once told Bea to stop being self-sacrificing. Don’t be a doormat, it said. It had struck her as a particularly modern assumption that giving diminished the self rather than nourished it. She didn’t equate giving with sacrifice. And she wasn’t a doormat, she was a psychotherapist. "
