The Road Quotes

“Just let your thoughts flow freely, without trying to direct them or control them in any way? It’s interesting what can pop into one’s head without invitation.”
― Iain Rob Wright, The Road

“I pushed aside all thoughts of my family just so I could keep going, but it was like trying to hold back the sea. Try as I might, the waves kept crashing down on my head and swallowing me up. Eventually, when I had all but drowned, I realised that by pushing the memory of my family away, I was slowly erasing them. It was the last thing I wanted, so I made a change. When I accepted my pain instead of trying to block it out, and I allowed myself to remember their faces, my family returned to me. I’ve been carrying them with me ever since.”
― Iain Rob Wright, The Road
