Quote #2
But sometimes, unexpectedly, grief pounded over me in waves that left me gasping; and when the waves washed back, I found myself looking out over a brackish wreck which was illumined in a light so lucid, so heartsick and empty, that I could hardly remember that the world had ever been anything but dead.
~ Donna Tartt
I don’t have a special emotional connection to this quote beyond the fact that it’s gorgeous? I completely paused everything when I read it for the first time in Donna Tartt’s The Goldfinch and had to text it, completely out of context, to a good handful of my friends just to say LOOK AT THESE PRETTY WORDS.
Are there any quotes that have prompted a similar immediate drop-everything reaction from you?
I’m tagging …

- Alysha | Floral Reads
