This is the one thing I hope: that she never stopped. I hope when her body couldn't run any farther she left it behind like everything else that tried to hold her down, she floored the pedal and she went like wildfire, streamed down night freeways with both hands off the wheel and her head back screaming to the sky like a lynx, white lines and green lights whipping away into the dark, her tires inches off the ground and freedom crashing up her spine.
Tana FrenchYou start admiring someone who's famous for actually doing something---imagine that---and I swear to you I will buy you every item in her entire wardrobe. But over my own dead body will I spend my own time and money turning you into a clone of some brain-dead waste of skin who thinks the pinnacle of achievement is selling her wedding shots to a magazine.
Tana FrenchI thought I could never write a proper book; I'd never done it before. But I thought I could write a sequence. Then I had a chapter. The next thing I knew I was turning acting down.
Tana FrenchOur entire society is based on discontent. People wanting more and more and more. Being constantly dissatisfied with their homes, their bodies, their dรฉcor, their clothes, everything โ taking it for granted that thatโs the whole point of life. Never to be satisfied. If you are perfectly happy with what you got, especially if what you got isnโt even all the spectacular then youโre dangerous. Youโre breaking all the rules. Youโre undermining the sacred economy. Youโre challenging every assumption that society is built on.
