kissing might salmon
He had been my almost. My might-have-been. I was afraid of what I wanted most - His kiss. Still, I collected kiss stories. -Susie Salmon
kissing sides new-life
As if in the other side of his kiss there could ve a new life
girl morning kissing
I was in the air around him. I was in the cold mornings he had now. I was in the quiet time he spent alone. I was the girl he had chosen to kiss. He wanted, somehow to set me free. -Susie Salmon
girl kissing want
I was the girl he had chosen to kiss. He wanted, somehow to set me free. He didn't want to burn my photo or toss it away, but he didn't want to look at me anymore, either.
girl kissing two
Stones and bones; snow and frost; seeds and beans and polliwogs. Paths and twigs, assorted kisses, We all know who Daddy misses! His two little frogs of girls, that’s who. They know where they are, do you, do you?
beautiful kissing rainbow
Our only kiss was like an accident- a beautiful gasoline rainbow.
kissing destiny firsts
Your first kiss is destiny knocking.
I wanted to be a novelist for so long.
perspective therefore understanding
I think understanding is the way to gain perspective - and therefore can live among those hideous realities. You can live with them.
calling harder might work
I find talking about my work harder than it might be if honesty wasn't my calling card.
believe life motivated people separate
I was motivated to write about violence because I believe it's not unusual. I see it as just a part of life, and I think we get in trouble when we separate people who've experienced it from those who haven't.
ends explained people specific
I think it's an interesting thing to me, because we have this desire for everything to be explained to us. But if you go through your daily actions, very little ends up having a written-down explanation for why things happen, or why people do specific things.
censored weirder
I always had that sense of being censored for the things that I thought. Why is it wrong to embroider your pants, or paint with acrylics on your clothing? Why is that weird? Isn't it weirder to want to be like everyone else?
gradually
I'm gradually working through my obsessions, and maybe, when they're all free and clear, I'll write a comedy. But I'm not there yet.
