She Quotes (page 74)

She felt like someone who drowns remembering what it was like to still be on the boat, so calm and at ease, so carelessly safe Stephen King
She had listened to him, partly sympathetic, partly horrified. For it was one thing for her to reject her background, to be critical of her family's heritage, another to hear it from him. Jhumpa Lahiri
She was not, herself, hugely in favor of motherhood in general. Obviously it was necessary, but it wasn't exactly difficult. Even cats managed it. But women acted as if they'd been given a medal that entitled them to boss people around. It was as if, just because they'd got the label which said "mother", everyone else got a tiny part of the label that said "child"... Terry Prachett
She was an extravagantly slender girl. Her ribs showed. The conspicuous knobs of her hipbones framed a hollowed abdomen, so flat as to belie the notion of "belly." Her exquisite bone structure immediately slipped into a novel - became in fact the secret structure of that novel, besides supporting a number of poems. Vladimir Nabokov
Anne Lamott quote: "She wants to have hiked; I want to have had dessert."
She wants to have hiked; I want to have had dessert. Anne Lamott

Michael Cunningham quote: "She is overtaken by a sensation of unbeing. There is no other..."
She is overtaken by a sensation of unbeing. There is no other word for it. Michael Cunningham
She was one of those writers, far from rare in the world of letters, who suppose that push and pull are an adequate substitute for talent... W. Somerset Maugham
She stood a moment before my eyes, clearly and painfully, loved and deeply woven into my destiny; then fell away again in a deep oblivion, at a half regretted distance. Herman Hesse
Edith Wharton quote: "She pronounced the word married as if her voice caressed it...."
She pronounced the word married as if her voice caressed it. It seemed a rustling covert leading to enchanted glades. Edith Wharton
She asked if we were calm enough for her to take off the cuffs, and McMurphy nodded. He had slumped over with his head hung and his elbows between his knees and looked completely exhausted--it hadn't occurred to me that it was just as hard for him to stand straight as it was for me. Ken Kesey
Chuck Palahniuk quote: "She drank a glass of wine and looked for something new to ruin..."
She drank a glass of wine and looked for something new to ruin with her lack of talent. Chuck Palahniuk
She wants to learn how to handle a gun. Well, I want George Clooney naked in my bed, but I haven't attempted kidnapping. Yet. Nora Roberts
She would be one of those who kneel to their own shadows till feet grow on their knees; then go down on their hands till their hands grow into feet; then lay their faces on the ground till they grow into snouts; when at last they are a hideous sort of lizards, each of which believes himself the best, wisest, and loveliest being in the world, yea, the very centre of the universe. And so they run about for ever looking for their own shadows that they may worship them, and miserable because they... George MacDonald
