Heat Lightning Quotes

“It was the tiniest scrap of misinformation, insignificant really. But. . . . That was not the story at all.”
― Leah Hager Cohen, Heat Lightning

“The story and every element of it . . . had been fixed long ago . . . we had literally fought to establish a single ritualized version, constant enough to double for fact. Until Tilly changed a phrase. . . .
I ought to have been indignant, ought to have piped up righteously in a high, clear voice. . . . But I couldn't say it, and so made myself complicit. Tilly was the one who broke the rule' I was the one who left her.”
