Alison’s Profile

“As he read, I fell in love the way you fall asleep: slowly, and then all at once.”

“The chief beauty about time
is that you cannot waste it in advance.
The next year, the next day, the next hour are lying ready for you,
as perfect, as unspoiled,
as if you had never wasted or misapplied
a single moment in all your life.
You can turn over a new leaf every hour
if you choose.”
― Arnold Bennett

“A peasant that reads is a prince in waiting.”
― Walter Mosley, The Long Fall
