Why is love intensified by absence?

Audrey Niffenegger 123 quotes

Outside it's a perfect spring ...

Outside it's a perfect spring night. We stand on the sidewalk in front of our apartment building, and Henry takes my hand, and I look at him, and I raise our joined hands and Henry twirls me around and soon we're dancing down Belle Plaine Avenue, no music but the sound of cars whoosing by and our own laughter, and the smell of cherry blossoms that fall like snow on the sidewalk as we dance underneath the tress.

I am suddenly comsumed by nostalgia for the little girl who was me, who loved the fields and believed in God, who spent winter days home sick from school reading Nancy Drew and sucking menthol cough drops, who could keep a secret.

It's hard being left behind. (...) It's hard to be the one who stays.

Audrey Niffenegger 123 quotes

The space that I can call mine...

The space that I can call mine.. is so small that my ideas have become small. I am like a caterpillar in a cocoon of paper; all around me are sketches for sculptures, small drawings that seem like moths fluttering against the windows, beating their wings to escape from this tiny space.. Every day the ideas come more reluctantly, as though they know I will starve them and stunt their growth.

The compelling thing about mak...

The compelling thing about making art - or making anything, I suppose - is the moment when the vaporous, insubstantial idea becomes a solid there, a thing, a substance in a world of substances.

When you live with a woman you...

When you live with a woman you learn something every day. So far I have learned that long hair will clog up the shower drain befor you can say 'Liquid-Plumr'; that it is not advisable to clip something out of the newspaper before your wife has read it, even if the newspaper in question is a week old; that I am the only person in our two-person household who can eat the same thing for dinner three nights in a row without pouting; and that headphones were invented to preserve spouses from each other's musical excesses.

When the woman you live with is an artist, every day is a surprise.

I wanted someone to love who would stay: stay and be there, always.

I go to sleep alone, and wake ...

I go to sleep alone, and wake up alone. I take walks. I work until I'm tired. I watch the wind play with the trash that's been under the snow all winter. Everything seems simple until you think about it. Why is love intensified by abscence?

I feel that I an everything to her.

What we need,' Henry says, 'is a fresh start. A blank slate. Let's call her Tabula Rasa.

I'm living under water. Everything seems slow and far away. I know there's a world up there, a sunlit quick world where time runs like dry sand through an hourglass, but down here, where I am, air and sound and time and feeling are thick and dense.

Chaos is more freedom; in fact...

Chaos is more freedom; in fact, total freedom. But no meaning. I want to be free to act, and I also want my actions to mean something.

Audrey Niffenegger 123 quotes

He said something interesting:...

He said something interesting: he said that he thinks there is only free will when you are in time, in the present. He says in the past we can only do what we did, and we can only be there if we were there.

Do you ever miss him? Every day. Every minute. Every minute, she says. Yes, it's that way, isn't it?

Audrey Niffenegger 123 quotes

There is only one page left to write on. I will fill it with words of only one syllable. I love. I have loved. I will love.

Audrey Niffenegger 123 quotes

Don't you think it's better to be extremely happy for a short while, even if you lose it, than to be just okay for your whole life?

The hardest lesson is Clare's ...

The hardest lesson is Clare's solitude. Sometimes I come home and Clare seems kind of irritated; I've interrupted some train of thought, broken into the dreary silence of her day. Sometimes I see an expression on Clare's face that is like a closed door. She has gone inside the room of her mind and is sitting there knitting or something. I've discovered that Clare likes to be alone. But when I return from time traveling she is always relieved to see me.
