One of my all time favorite books and also movies is Robert James Waller’s book, The Bridges of Madison County. It is one of the very few books or movies that I watch or read again. And again….
Quotes one might ponder from the book:
“Some things are becoming obsolete in a world given over to increasing amounts
of organization.”
“We all exist with our own carapaces of scabbed-over sensibilities.”
“She asked for nothing except her freedom.”
“She left me with more than I left her.”
“Getting older puts one in that frame of mind.”
“There’s a creature inside of you that I’m not good enough to bring out.”
“Words have physical feeling, not just meaning.”
“He believes IQ tests are a poor way to judge people’s abilities.”
“He fell partially in love.”
“She was lovely, or had been at one time.”
“Rustling yet within her was another person.”
“He never knew quite what to say, unless the talk was serious.”
“Custom brings predictability, and predictability carries its’ own comforts.”
“Her abstinence from her recollections has been a matter of survival.”
“I can’t tear myself away from the realness of my responsibilities.”
