Top 10 Best Quotes
“Some people had strong views on attacking a man from behind. Well, Will did himself, those views being that it was an excellent idea, best done with a blade. He missed the Messer.”
“But Kim had wanted him anyway, and he’d fought accordingly, until he got it through Will’s thick skull that it was time to stop seeing where they went and start heading there on purpose”
“Kim was starlight and privilege; Will had his feet firmly fixed in the mud. They didn’t belong together. Except they did.”
“If you trust someone, that means letting them into a position where they can really hurt you, and believing they won't. And if you're afraid to do that, either you aren't sure of them, or you aren't sure of yourself.”
“I hope you find some of these as snugly up your alley as I find you up mine.”
“Fine,” Will said. “I promise. I promise I’ll just bugger off whenever it seems like the easy way out for me, and leave you in this hundred-room hellhole with your family rubbing cheese-graters on your nerve endings. Is that what you want to hear?” “I detect a note of sarcasm.”
“he persuades himself that the facts are whatever he wants them to be, and is furious if anyone contradicts them.”
“Will explained about selling the Aveston library with a vague feeling of unreality that he was discussing a viscount with an earl’s nephew. Come to that, he’d punched a baronet and fucked a marquess’s son. Talk about the high life. “And what about”
“Would it have been easier for him to plump for a future like that? Probably. It was always easier to do the things you were meant to do. He’d doubtless have taken marriage and children as they came up if he’d been with a girl, just as he’d taken the bookshop: the next step along a path he was already on, so he might as well keep going. Much as he’d been doing with Kim. Carry on, let things happen, don’t sit down to think about what you truly want or what other people might need from you.”
“So many things mattered about Kim. The way his deep brown eyes lit when he smiled, the intense concentration he brought to work or to bed. How he had made undrinkably weak tea for Will just once, watched him make his own with catlike attention, and got it spoon-dissolvingly perfect ever since. There were so many tiny wisping moments of trust and truth and vulnerability that had slowly become something real and solid between them, and Will didn’t want it to slip through his fingers. Not again.”
