One Flea Spare Quotes

“Our lives are but a splash of water on a stone, nothing more. Then I am the stone on which they fell, and they have marked me. So beware, because I loved them, and they have marked me.”
― Naomi Wallace, One Flea Spare

“You can't break my heart. It's made of water.”
― Naomi Wallace, One Flea Spare

“I once had a lover and his arms were so strong that my skull was crushed in his grip. With his bare hands he plunged between my ribs and took hold of my heart. A wafer between his fingers it dissolved. Sometimes I wake up in the dark and stand in the hall and I can feel the cold draft pass freely through my chest as though there were nothing there.”
― Naomi Wallace, One Flea Spare
