What you people who weren't yet born can never know is what it meant to sleep in cities under silent falls of snow when all night long the only sounds you heard were dogs that parked at trains that passed so far away they took a short cut through your dreams and no one even woke. It was the war that changed that. It was. After the Great War for Civilization - sleep was different everywhere.
Timothy FindleyI still maintain that an ordinary human being has the right to be horrified by a mangled body seen on an afternoon walk.
Timothy FindleyEveryone whoโs born has come from the sea. Your motherโs womb is just a sea in small. And birds come of seas on eggs. Horses lie in the sea before theyโre born. The placenta is the sea. Your blood is the sea continued in your veins. We are the ocean โ walking on the land.
Timothy FindleyThere are no beginnings, not even to stories. There are only places where you make an entrance into someone else's life and either stay or turn and go away.
