quotes by Anne Enright

"
'and what amazes me is not the fact that everyone loses someone, but that everyone loves someone.""

"They are surprisingly tall--eight-year-olds. They are surprisingly like real people. Of course your own babies are always real to you, they are all there from the word go, but even strangers' children look like proper people by the aged of eight..."
Anne Enright (The Gathering)

"Because a mother's love is God's greatest joke. And besides - who is to say what is the first and what is the final cause?

-that I was living my life in inverted commas. I could pick up my keys and go 'home' where I could 'have sex' with my 'husband' just like lots of other people did. And I didn't seem to mind the inverted commas...

This is how we all survive. We default to the oldest scar.

So I left the house with a howl of regret for all I had been denied, though there was nothing there I actually wanted. I wanted out of there, that was all. I wanted a larger life.

My children are of a different breed. They seem to grow like plants, to be made of twig and blossom and not of meat.

There are long stretches of time when I don't know what I am doing, or what I have done - nothing mostly, but sometimes it would be nice to know what kind of nothing that was...I try not to drink before half past five, but I always do drink - from the top of the wine bottle to the last, little drop. It is the only way I know to make the day end."
