Silence in Hanover Close (Charlotte & Thomas Pitt, #9) QUOTES

1 " We need our marks, our small illusions; few of us can bear to go naked into the world's gaze. And people will kill to keep their clothes. "

― Anne Perry , Silence in Hanover Close (Charlotte & Thomas Pitt, #9)

2 " Have you noticed how one condemns most self-righteously that which one has never had the opportunity to do? "

― Anne Perry , Silence in Hanover Close (Charlotte & Thomas Pitt, #9)

3 " Many people desire no more than a convention— the sharing of a home, a social position, children, and the wider family; they do not wish to share their thoughts or their leisure, above all they do not wish to reveal their inner selves, where dreams are held, where they may be known, and thus wounded. They will not take risks. In the end there is no generosity of soul, only safety. There is no giving where there may be cost. "

― Anne Perry , Silence in Hanover Close (Charlotte & Thomas Pitt, #9)

4 " Love that expects perfection—no past with mistakes, pain, learning—is only hunger. No one grows to maturity without acts to be ashamed of; in accepting that, we love not only the strengths but also the weaknesses, and real bonds grow between us. "

― Anne Perry , Silence in Hanover Close (Charlotte & Thomas Pitt, #9)
