(Hornby's thoughts after reading "Clockers" by Richard Price) Nick Hornby
I burst into tears and I cry and cry until it feels as though it is not salt and water being squeezed from my eyes, but blood. Nick Hornby
The fuck?” he said. “The fuck?” said Jess. “The fuck what?” “It's an American abbreviation,” said Martin. “ « The fuck?» means « What the fuck?» In America, they’re so busy that they don’t have time to say the « what». Nick Hornby
Nick Hornby quote: "I'm still not a very good white wine, but I'm drinkable - you..."
I'm still not a very good white wine, but I'm drinkable - you could put me in a punch, anyway. Nick Hornby
