quotes by Lionel Shriver

"Built like an oak tree, against which I could pitch my pillow and read; mornings, I could curl into the crook of your branches."
Lionel Shriver

"...You can only subject people to anguish who have a conscience. You can only punish people who have hopes to frustrate or attachments to sever; who worry what you think of them. You can really only punish people who are already a little bit good."
Lionel Shriver (We Need to Talk About Kevin: A Novel)
Add_quote

"You were ambitious - for your life, what it was like when you woke up in the morning, and not for some attainment. Like most people who did not answer a particular calling from an early age, you placed work beside yourself; any occupation would fill up your day but not your heart. I liked that about you. I liked it enormously."
