Favorite Michael Marshall Smith Quotes

1. "I wash with the can of water I set aside the night before, and eat whatever I put next to it. The washing is not strictly neccessary but, again, I have always found it a good way to greet the day. You wash after a period pf work, after all, and what else is a night of sleep, if not work, or a journey at least? ("The Things He Said")" ~ Michael Marshall Smith
2. "and only when that happens do you realise just how much silence there really is. Silence between lovers, when something really needs to be said; silence from a parent when a child needs some word more than anything else in the world; silences and in betweens and everything which isn't an answer." ~ Michael Marshall Smith
3. "It's simply the way things are when people come together out of hurt rather than happiness. When you try to use people as band-aids you merely reinfect the wound, and every moment you spend with them is like a speck of glass working itself deeper into your flesh." ~ Michael Marshall Smith
4. "I once met a woman who'd been in therapy... and it seemed like the big thing she'd learned was to ignore everything she thought in the first hour of the day. That's when the negative stuff will try to bring you down, she said, and she was right about that but not much else. You come back from the night with your head and your soul empty, and bad things try to fill you up. There's a lot to get exercised about, if you let it. But if you've got a task, something to fill your head and move your limbs, by the time you've finished it the day has begun ands you're onto the next thing. You're over the hump, like I said." ~ Michael Marshall Smith
5. "If people knew that I really am what I say I am,' he said, 'you know they'd never forgive me.' 'Don't worry,' I said, 'Your lack of a secret is safe with us." ~ Michael Marshall Smith
6. "I caught one last glimpse of her face, howling something at me.There were too many vowels in what she said, and they were in an unkind order. ("Substitutions")" ~ Michael Marshall Smith
7. "I work in my study, taking the collections of words that people send me and making small adjustments to them, changing something here and there, checking everything is in order and putting a part of myself into the text by introducing just a little bit of difference. ("Substitutions")" ~ Michael Marshall Smith
8. "Hey presto: time travel. You don't need a time machine, it turns out, you just need a friend to laugh like a teenager. Chronology shivers." ~ Michael Marshall Smith
9. "Is she dead?" called Zenda.Sort of," I shouted, "And the pizza's completely fucked too." ~ Michael Marshall Smith
10. "You love because you want to need someone the way you did when you were a child, and have them need you too. You eat well because the intensity of taste reminds you of a need satisfied, a pain relieved. The finest paintings are nothing more than the red head of a flower, nodding in the breeze, when you were two years old; the most exciting film is just the way everything was, back in the days when you stared goggle-eyed at the whirling chaos all around you. All these things do is get the adult to shut up for a while, to open for just a moment a tiny sliding window in the cell deep inside, letting the pallid child peep hungrily out and drink the world in before darkness falls again." ~ Michael Marshall Smith
