The Cypress House Quotes

“It was all about size now: the big ran the world on the sweat of the small, and if the big faltered for any reason, the small were the first to go.”
― Michael Koryta, The Cypress House

“So much water. It just went on and on and on, a sight that squeezed the soul. He felt so damn small out here. And that felt good. Maybe that was strange, but it felt good. He was insignificant. The world was too big to care about his decisions. There was no weight here, no burden.”
― Michael Koryta, The Cypress House
