A Snow Garden and Other Stories QUOTES

1 " Silently he had moved within her until deep inside she opened like a flower. "

― Rachel Joyce , A Snow Garden and Other Stories

2 " Stories are important. We need them. It is through telling and hearing stories that we make sense of the world. Like dreams, they come to us when we are quiet and they tell us something or remind us of something that we need to hear. They say to us, 'No, you’re not alone. Because that thing you feel, I feel it too.' And sometimes they ask us to think again. "

― Rachel Joyce , A Snow Garden and Other Stories

3 " Maureen watched them all. This was how it was, she thought. People would find one another, and sometimes it would last moments and sometimes it would last years. You could spend your life with a person and not understand them and then you could meet a boy across a dance floor and feel you knew him like a part of yourself. Maybe it was the same out there in the fields. Maybe the sheep were sitting two by two with the foxes and so were the rats and worms. "

4 " We are at the centre of our own stories. And sometimes it is hard to believe that we are not at the centre of other people's. But I love the fact that you can brush pasta person with your own story, your own life, so big in your mind and at the same time be a simple passer-by in someone else's. A walk-on part. "
