    Ian McEwan
    “A story was a form of telepathy. By means of inking symbols onto a page, she was able to send thoughts and feelings from her mind to her reader's. It was a magical process, so commonplace that no one stopped to wonder at it.”

    “One thousand ways to say good-bye
    One thousands ways to cry
    One thousand ways to hang your hat before you go outside

    I shout it out so loud
    Cause the next time that I find my voice I might not remember how.”

    “All these perfect days, made of glass
    Put on the shelf where they can cast

    ... perfect shadows that shift and glow...
    ... perfect shadows that shift and grow..."

    “I missed the sound of her shuffling her homework while I listened to music on her bed.
    I missed the cold of her feet against my legs when she climbed into bed.
    I missed the shape of her shadow where it fell across the page of my book.
    I missed the smell of her hair and the sound of her breath and my Rilke on her nightstand and her wet towel thrown over the back of her desk chair.
    It felt like I should be sated after having a whole day with her, but it just made me miss her more.”

    “Wherever I go, I'll always see you. You'll always be with me. And there's no happy ending coming here, no way a story that started on a night that's burned into my heart will end the way I wish it could. You're really gone, no last words, and no matter how many letters I write to you, you're never going to reply. You're never going to say good-bye. So I will. Good-bye, Julia. Thank you for being my friend. Thank you for being you.”

    “I always wanted to be grown up. When I was little I couldn’t wait to be a teenager and go to high school. When I got there I wanted to be done with it, wanted to get out into the world, the real one, and live in it. The thing is, that world doesn’t exist. All growing up means is that you realize no one will come along to fix things. No one will come along to save you.”
