“Memory is both the best and cruellest friend we will ever have.”
― Glenn Haybittle, The War in Venice

“So much of our life is the circling of a dream. The dream, a changeable elusive presence, is at the heart of our identity, it is the fabric to which all our qualities are stitched. Did it matter that the dream never found fruition in the physical world? The important thing was never to relinquish it. It’s the dream which keeps beauty as an animating source of strength in our lives, which reminds us we are connected to a larger reality.”
― Glenn Haybittle, Byron and Shelley

“It's like men and women sing different words to the same song.”
― Glenn Haybittle, The War in Venice

“Most of us carry around the extravagant hope that the world can at least catch a glimpse of what we consider to be our true face. We can't help harbouring the desire that past achievements and former incarnations still reveal some glimpse of themselves on our person. That people might be able to read the history of a face and not just its live bulletins.”
― Glenn Haybittle, Scorched Earth
