Quotes by Alexis Schaitkin  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“When a person you love dies, the calendar becomes a minefield. Anyone who has lost someone knows this. There is the loved one’s birthday. One’s own Birthday. Various national and religious holidays, if one is religious. All of these days are difficult in their own ways. But the anniversary is different. On the anniversary of the loved one’s death, you slip backward through time to this same day, one, five, ten years ago. You live it all over again, minute by minute.”
Alexis Schaitkin, Saint X

“She was what all the dead are: whatever the living make them.”
Alexis Schaitkin, Saint X

“We don’t know what people look like. We know only what they look like to us. We have an idea of them, shaped by our affections, our memories, and this is the real distortion.”
Alexis Schaitkin, Saint X
