Quotes by Alex Finlay  (?)

“[T]he truth of the matter was that it was rarely a stranger who killed you; it was usually someone you held dear. As Keller knew too well, the sheep spends its life worried about the wolf, only to be eaten by the farmer.”
Alex Finlay, Every Last Fear

“The world breaks everyone and afterward many are strong at the broken places.”
Alex Finlay, The Night Shift

“Nico's a good man, but like many men, he treats pregnant women like fragile flowers. They overlook the fact that, over the course of history, through famines, epidemics, and other extreme conditions, women survived longer and better than men. Having babies? A walk in the park next to what most men could endure. But whatever”
Alex Finlay, The Night Shift
