Quotes by Stephen Leigh  (?)

“The island’s cliffs do not grasp the cloud’s shadow The amberdrop cannot hold the wind’s sigh Like the cloud, like the wind Your breath takes the moment in Your breath sends it away again”
Stephen Leigh, Speaking Stones

“No one much seemed to comprehend the shapes he wore, but Ghost wore them anyway, because doing so amused him. Being a construct, “amusement” wasn’t precisely the right term, but it was a close approximation for the exhilarating openness of the neural web, the crackle of new pathways and unexpected interconnections.”
Stephen Leigh, Speaking Stones

“I think we go brain-dead when talking with kids. All the sudden I was saying things my mi and da had said to me two decades ago. The words must sit around dormant, generation to generation, waiting to infect our vocal cords when we get older.”
Stephen Leigh, Dark Water's Embrace
