cooper’s Notes & Highlights

1 highlight

“If you read a novel to the end, then it’s over. I would never want to do something as wasteful as that. I’d much rather keep it here with me, safe and sound, forever.”

“In February of the same year, a local resident reported seeing the defendant take the condoms the hotel supplied its guests, fill them with water, and hurl the water-filled condoms from a hotel window at the cat owned by the sushi shop next door.”
― Natsuo Kirino, Grotesque

“The events of our lives unfold linearly, but in the mental reel of these past experiences, most of the frames that haven’t been completely stolen by time are left distorted and blurred by it. When you try to reconstruct the series, you find that it isn’t complete, but maybe this never really bothers you, because you can’t miss what you don’t remember.”
― Dathan Auerbach, Penpal

“With each year that passed, I came to ask myself if Marie might not have gone out of this world so much as gone more deeply into it. From being wrapped up in earth, maybe she’d made her way out into it, into the soil, the water, until she was part of things. Maybe she’d found a way to lead me back to her.”
― John Langan, The Fisherman
