1 " Goodness knows what hallucinations of danger and siege people are subject to, if they live anywhere too beautiful and too sequestered. "
― Tessa Hadley , The Master Bedroom
2 " I hate to think of you stuck here all day every day, doing nothing with that brilliant brain of yours.”“It never was brilliant. Anyway, who keeps these books to see who’s used themselves wisely and who’s wasted? "
3 " This is what had always happened to women when they had too much time to think: they made themselves conduits to all the passions in the universe, they dreamed open all the possibilities that sane hard-working people kept shut away. "
4 " Perhaps these earthbound types were more susceptible to the freaks and fumes of delusion, having no resistance when once they stumbled in. "
5 " Talking about the old days made Kate anything but nostalgic; actually, despite what everybody said about youth, most of her past made her shudder, in sheer disgust and in relief that she didn’t have to live it over again. "
