Loveday: When your family explodes (implodes?), it’s the big stuff that hurts, for a while, like the impact of a slap, but that fades, quite quickly, because you have to get used to it, and the way to get used to it is, basically, not to think about it. It’s the little things like this that get you, forever as far as I can tell.

Loveday: Writing a new ending is all very well in the abstract. Some plot twists you just don’t recover from.

Loveday: If you’re going to start disliking someone, or at least letting them out of your life, it’s more helpful if they piss you off now and then.

Loveday: The trouble with meeting new people is that they ask you a lot of questions, and when it comes to answering those questions, I don't have a many options. Either you have to be honest, which feels like too much for a 'nice to meet you' conversation, or you tell lies.

Loveday: And that’s the trouble with talking to people. They ask questions, and before you know it, you’re halfway to telling them everything.

Loveday: [My mum] used to say, 'I don't believe in margarine,' as though she was talking about yogic flying or ghosts.

Loveday: If you don't talk about your past, and you work in a bookshop, then your topics of conversation are basically:
1. Books I've read and liked and why
2. Books I've read and not liked and why
3. Books I want to read but haven't yet and why
4. Books I have decided not to read and why

Loveday: When you’re imperfect yourself, and you come across someone more obviously broken than you, it’s both heartening and comforting.
