Quotes by Ruth Mancini (?)

“It was as if we were having two different conversations. Which wasn’t that surprising after all, as we were clearly having two entirely different experiences of breaking up. His was soft, cushioned; Jude and his friends had broken his fall. Mine was cold, empty and bereft. I was freefalling in space and time, with nobody standing by to stop me hurtling headlong into obscurity.”
― Ruth Mancini, Swimming Upstream

“There it was again: “Came in to see us”, as if it were an enjoyable little day trip that lots of people made, just because it was such a nice place to be.”
― Ruth Mancini, Swimming Upstream

“It's a strange kind of irony. The things that affect us most are the things we can't remember" (from Swimming Upstream).”
