Gabrielle Zevin Quote: “They say success kills relationships, but the lack of it will do it just as quickly.”
Gabrielle Zevin Quote: “You know very well that I was in Germany as a child, and you have heard the stories, so I won’t tell them to you again. But I can tell you that the people who give you charity are never your friends. It is not possible to receive charity from a friend.” “I hadn’t thought of it that way,” Sadie said. Freda stroked Sadie’s hand. “Mine Sadie. This life is filled with inescapable moral compromises. We should do what we can to avoid the easy ones.”
Gabrielle Zevin Quote: “Like Sam, I once lived in a house up a hill from the Happy Foot Sad Foot sign. The Happy Foot Sad Foot sign was taken down in 2019, but I am told you can still find its remains in a gift shop somewhere in Silver Lake.”
Gabrielle Zevin Quote: “But people – the ordinary, the decent and basically honest – couldn’t get through the day without that one indispensable bit of programming that allowed you to say one thing and mean, feel, even do, another.”
Gabrielle Zevin Quote: “He missed Sadie more than he had missed her in the years he hadn’t spoken to her, because there she was, every day. It looked like Sadie and it spoke like Sadie, but somehow it was no longer Sadie.”
Gabrielle Zevin Quote: “For Ms. Pac-Man, Anna thought, life was cheap and filled with second chances.”
Gabrielle Zevin Quote: “To be alive was to accept that your were fundamentally alone.”
Gabrielle Zevin Quote: “So many of the mothers she knew said that their children were exactly themselves from the moment they appeared in the world. But Sadie disagreed. What person was a person without language? Tastes? Preferences? Experiences? And on the other side of childhood, what grown-up wanted to believe that they had emerged from their parents fully formed? Sadie knew that she herself had not become a person until recently. It was unreasonable to expect a child to emerge whole cloth.”
Gabrielle Zevin Quote: “A maze,” he would say, “is a video game distilled to its purest form.”
Gabrielle Zevin Quote: “The coyotes felt capable, canny, and strangely anthropomorphized, as if they had been endowed with human features by a team of animators. Their hair seemed artfully disheveled, the haircut of a hot, young actor playing a drug addict in an independent film. The coyotes felt more human than most of the humans Sam encountered, more human than Sam himself felt back then.”
Gabrielle Zevin Quote: “When you have children, you’ll never be able to worry about a friend as much again,” Dov said.”
Gabrielle Zevin Quote: “Sadie and Marx took a cab back to the hotel. “Do you mind what your father said?” she asked him. “No,” Marx said. “I loved being a student actor. I was fully devoted to it, and now I’m not. I think if I’d become a professional, I would likely have fallen out of love with it anyway. It isn’t a sadness, but a joy, that we don’t do the same things for the length of our lives.”
Gabrielle Zevin Quote: “On the day she found Daedalus blowing the glass heart, she had suspected Sam, but she had also allowed herself not to know. She wanted to play more than she wanted to know. Sadie told Sam he had tricked her, but the truth was, she had tricked herself. It was embarrassing how much that silly, exquisite world had meant to her. A year and a half later, she.”
Gabrielle Zevin Quote: “Sam used to say that Marx was the most fortunate person he had ever met – he was lucky with lovers, in business, in looks, in life. But the longer Sadie knew Marx, the more she thought Sam hadn’t truly understood the nature of Marx’s good fortune. Marx was fortunate because he saw everything as if it were a fortuitous bounty. It was impossible to know – were persimmons his favorite fruit, or had they just now become his favorite fruit because there they were, growing in his own backyard?”
Gabrielle Zevin Quote: “She knew that the presence of the timesheet made it seem as if she had an ulterior motive, though the truth was obvious to her: Sadie Green liked being praised, and Sam Masur was the best friend she had ever had.”
Gabrielle Zevin Quote: “Hey, pretty girl. How you doing?” “Adopted,” she says.”
Gabrielle Zevin Quote: “She almost seemed to be an extension of him, and he, of her.”
Gabrielle Zevin Quote: “The words you can’t find, you borrow. We read to know we’re not alone. We read because we are alone. We read and we are not alone.”
Gabrielle Zevin Quote: “The key to being a good thief, Sam always felt, was utter brazenness.”
Gabrielle Zevin Quote: “The universe, he felt, was just – or if not just, fair enough.”
Gabrielle Zevin Quote: “As Sam often said to Sadie, “Why make anything if you don’t believe it could be great?”
Gabrielle Zevin Quote: “Alice would only have to be in the hospital for two nights this time, and it was only out of, according to her mother, “an abundance of caution.” It reminded her of a murder of crows, a flock of seagulls, a pack of wolves. She imagined that “caution” was a creature of some kind – maybe, a cross between a Saint Bernard and an elephant. A large, intelligent, friendly animal that could be counted on to defend the Green sisters from threats, existential and otherwise.”
Gabrielle Zevin Quote: “To allow yourself to play with another person is no small risk. It means allowing yourself to be open, to be exposed, to be hurt.”
Gabrielle Zevin Quote: “I love you, Sadie,” Sam said. “I know, Sam. I love you, too.”
Gabrielle Zevin Quote: “It is the secret fear that we are unlovable that isolates us,” the passage goes, “but it is only because we are isolated that we think we are unlovable. Someday, you do not know when, you will be driving down a road. And someday, you do not know when, he, or indeed she, will be there. You will be loved because for the first time in your life, you will truly not be alone. You will have chosen to not be alone.”
Gabrielle Zevin Quote: “Puedes tomar prestadas las palabras que no encuentras.”
Gabrielle Zevin Quote: “A name is destiny, if you think it is.”
Gabrielle Zevin Quote: “No, this is a great game. That’s Cobainus. The eleven stars of Cobainus form a fuzzy grandma sweater,” Marx said.”
Gabrielle Zevin Quote: “The detail of Macbeth throwing dinner rolls at Banquo’s empty chair comes from the Royal Shakespeare Company’s 2018 production of Macbeth, directed by Polly Findlay and starring Christopher Eccleston in the title role.”
Gabrielle Zevin Quote: “I’ve been blue, lately,” Sam admitted. “And I wondered, how do you get over that sort of thing?” “Work helps,” Sadie said. “Games help. But sometimes, when I’m really low, I keep a particular image in my mind.” “What is it?” “I imagine people playing. Sometimes, it’s one of our games, but sometimes, it’s any game. The thing I find profoundly hopeful when I’m feeling despair is to imagine people playing, to believe that no matter how bad the world gets, there will always be players.”
Gabrielle Zevin Quote: “I mean, I’m not not a feminist. I mean, I believe I’m a human before I’m a woman.” You say this because you are young, and because you have the wrong idea about feminism.”
Gabrielle Zevin Quote: “On the third day, he brought a library copy of the novel Galatea 2.2, which he had recently enjoyed.”
Gabrielle Zevin Quote: “What is a ‘programmer’?” Emily asked. “A programmer is a diviner of possible outcomes, and a seer of unseen worlds.”
Gabrielle Zevin Quote: “Tell me I don’t know you, Sam thought. Tell me I don’t know you when I could draw both sides of this hand, your hand, from memory.”
Gabrielle Zevin Quote: “Sam was leaning on his good foot, in the increasingly lopsided way he had to stand, and Sadie felt a swelling of love and of worry for him – what was the difference in the end? It was never worth worrying about someone you didn’t love. And it wasn’t love if you didn’t worry.”
Gabrielle Zevin Quote: “But life was always arriving. There was always another gate to pass through.”
Gabrielle Zevin Quote: “The thing I find profoundly hopeful when I’m feeling despair is to imagine people playing, to believe that no matter how bad the world gets, there will always be players.”
Gabrielle Zevin Quote: “I forget how young you are. You’re still at the age where you mistake your friends and your colleagues for family.”
Gabrielle Zevin Quote: “I love you,” Daedalus said. “It is hard for me to say, because sometimes it doesn’t seem like it is enough.”
Gabrielle Zevin Quote: “They had become instant best friends in the way people can in their twenties.”
Gabrielle Zevin Quote: “What a world. People once made glass sculptures of decay, and they put these sculptures in museums. How strange and beautiful human beings are. And how fragile.”
Gabrielle Zevin Quote: “There is no purity in art. The process of how you arrive at something doesn’t matter at all.”
Gabrielle Zevin Quote: “While Sadie experienced this period of indecision as stressful, Sam didn’t feel that way at all. The best part of this moment, he thought, is that everything is still possible.”
Gabrielle Zevin Quote: “It’s more than romantic. It’s better than romance It’s friendship.”
Gabrielle Zevin Quote: “Why was it so hard for him to say he loved her even when she said it to him? He knew he loved her. People who felt far less for each other said “love” all the time, and it didn’t mean a thing. And maybe that was the point. He more than loved Sadie Green. There needed to be another word for it.”
Gabrielle Zevin Quote: “Maybe this is selfish, but I don’t want to love more than I am loved. And I don’t want to be with someone who loves something or someone more than me.”
Gabrielle Zevin Quote: “Die Liebe ist Konstante und Variable zugleich.”
Gabrielle Zevin Quote: “Sometimes I feel like the wedding is a Trojan horse. The dream I peddle to distract from the reality of a marriage. They choose these things to distinguish themselves from everyone else. They choose these things to make themselves feel less ordinary. But is there anything more ordinary than choosing to get married?”
Gabrielle Zevin Quote: “How much of your life had been a roll of the big polyhedral die in the sky?”
Gabrielle Zevin Quote: “Visto che siamo al mondo, stiamo tutti morendo.”
