Stranger on a Train Quotes

“It isn't important what you do, it is the attitude with which you proceed through the world that matters.”
― Jenny Diski, Stranger on a Train

“But I do know a kind of madness that lies low in the mind, half-buried in consciousness, which lives in parallel to sanity, and given the right circumstances or even just half a chance, creeps like a lick of flame or a growing tumour up and around ordinary perception, consuming it for a while, and causing one, even when not at the movies, to quake in fear of the world and people and what they--I mean, of, we--are capable of.”
― Jenny Diski, Stranger on a Train
