Quotes by Abbi Waxman (?)

“Being with you is as good as being alone.”
― Abbi Waxman, The Bookish Life of Nina Hill

tags: love, romance

115 likes

“People were... exhausting. They made her anxious. Leaving her apartment every morning was the turning over of a giant hourglass, the mental energy she’d stored up overnight eroding grain by grain. She refueled during the day by grabbing moments of solitude and sometimes felt her life was a long-distance swim between islands of silence.”
― Abbi Waxman, The Bookish Life of Nina Hill

“It also meant she thought of books as medication and sanctuary and the source of all good things. Nothing yet had proven her wrong.”
