David Hewson Quote: “A child was a brief and blissful interlude of responsibility, not a thing to be owned.”

1. “A child was a brief and blissful interlude of responsibility, not a thing to be owned.”

2. “His dad, dying in the hospital, had said something about pain. It stuck to you like flour. You thought you could wash it all away, out of your clothes, out of your hair. But some stray grain always persisted, slyly avoiding your well-meant attentions and the drugs the doctors had. Life was like that. The only thing to do, he said, was your best.”

— David Hewson

3. “There is an argument for believing that the entire process of writing a piece of fiction is simply a thinly-controlled and highly-internalised nervous breakdown designed, with a bit of luck, to produce something worthwhile at the end.”

— David Hewson

4. “Perhaps,” he continued, “this capacity for evil is in all of us, then, and it’s largely down to fortune whether we encounter the circumstance that breathes life into it or not. Just as it’s luck that determines when or if that faulty gene breaks and gives you cancer or Marfan or the physique of an Olympian.”

— David Hewson
