The Breakdown Lane Quotes

“There's a strange sensation - you recall it from childhood - about sleeping in the afternoon. You rise into a different world from the one in which you lay down. The shadows have been rearranged. There's a sensation of sad sweetness, as if something has been overlooked. I used to feel it coming out of the movies just before dinnertime, after the matinee. How, I wondered, did Broadway actors face it, this bittersweet sense of time's slipping past.”
― Jacquelyn Mitchard, The Breakdown Lane

“Don't ever let anyone tell you that knowing how you should be reacting to a loss has anything to do with how you react when it's your loss.”
― Jacquelyn Mitchard, The Breakdown Lane
