Quotes
“Between waking and being awake there is a moment full of doubt and dream, when you struggle to remember what the place and when the time and whether you really are. A peevish moment of wonderment as to where the real world lies.”
The Bone People “Hands are sacred things. Touch is personal, fingers of love, feelers of blind eyes, tongues of those who cannot talk.”
The Bone People “Why? is the boy's motto, why does, why is, why not? Food, weather, time, fires, sea and season, clothes and cars and people; it's all grist to the mill of why.”
The Bone People “Sometimes, the waves grow hushed, but the sea is always there, touching, caressing, eating the earth....”
The Bone People
