Quotes by Douglas Stuart  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“She was no use at maths homework, and some days you could starve rather than get a hot meal from her, but Shuggie looked at her now and understood this was where she excelled. Everyday with the make-up on and her hair done, she climbed out of her grave and held her head high. When she had disgraced herself with drink, she got up the next day, put on her best coat, and faced the world. When her belly was empty and her weans were hungry, she did her hair and let the world think otherwise.”
Douglas Stuart, Shuggie Bain

“Sadness made for a better houseguest; at least it was quiet, reliable, consistent.”
Douglas Stuart, Shuggie Bain

“Shug had seen it before, those with least to give always gave the most.”
Douglas Stuart, Shuggie Bain
