David Ignatow Quotes

There are times when I can find myself in a book, too, for two or three hours. But afterward I have such an urge to go out and reach for other people. Very often they're not around.

You take a step in a house, you start moving around the house, no one else moves with you. You're walking by yourself.

Standing beside you,I took an oathto make your life simpler by complicating mineand what I always thought would happen did:I was lifted up in joy.
