Tracks Quotes

“The ride to Baltimore had been one that Joan wished would go faster and take longer at the same time, like a commute to a business meeting she wanted to both avoid and be done with.”
― Eric D. Goodman, Tracks: A Novel in Stories

“Walking on a train isn’t free and open, like walking on a sidewalk or in a building. Nor is it stiff and uncomfortable, like walking on an airplane. There’s a steady, rhythmic comfort to strolling leisurely down the aisle, balancing hands on the heads of seats as you go. Christi’s direction was clear, but her destination was not. She was in no hurry to get there, wherever “there” was.”
