Never the Wind Quotes

“Memory was a different inflection of reality. There are moments like that in all our lives, moments so deeply etched in our mind that they are always present, never past.

“It is a mystery how we never manage to pack as much living into winter as we do into summer, when apparently we idle around doing little else than play and rest.

― Francesco Dimitri, Never the Wind

“There was only another time in my life when I felt like that: last year, the morning after Mum died, when I woke up with my heart in tatters to a world that had not taken notice. Sparrows were chirping, newspapers were out. The season hadn’t turned overnight. It was obscene.”
― Francesco Dimitri, Never the Wind
