A Stranger in a Strange Land Quotes

“If you had let me love you, as only I can love - with a wildfire passion scorching the edges of your life - I would have given you all I had to give. Instead, you expected the worst of me, smothering my flames with your disdain, and dampening my spark with your condescension, until I lost myself in the heap of ashes entombing all that is the best of me.”
― Judy Croome, A Stranger in a Strange Land

“The road between ears winds through the sticky grey crevices of our brain, picking up a memory here, dropping off an idea there, gathering perceptions to mix and stew or slow roast to perfection the words you thought you heard, which are nothing like the words I spoke.”
― Judy Croome, A Stranger in a Strange Land

“My hollowed heart hangs heavy, there, under the chest bone, hard and solid as a shield, ineffective against the loss of a love I never had and never will.”
― Judy Croome, A Stranger in a Strange Land
