“Thinking there is something better out there in the world, something worth more than you already have- of all my mistakes,that was my biggest.”

Louise Candlish,
Before We Say Goodbye
“There was no trap involved, no trick: he was a wolf in wolf's clothing. And I went right up to his door and asked him his name.” ― Louise Candlish
“Sunday dawned bright and cheerful, oblivious to the fatal wounds of its predecessor,” ― Louise Candlish, Those People
“Hurtling towards fifty as we were, we found it hard to judge younger adults’ ages. They all looked like sixth formers to us.” ― Louise Candlish, The Other Passenger
“But I guess most speeders aren’t thinking about outcomes. They leave outcomes to other people.” ― Louise Candlish, Our House
“Of course, if I had my time again I probably wouldn’t touch a thing. I’d concentrate on the humans. I’d re-purpose them before they destroyed themselves.” ― Louise Candlish, Our House
“Even if he’s been up late partying, he always smells great, like an artisan loaf baked with walnuts and figs (‘Kit smells so millennial,’ Clare said once, which was almost certainly a criticism of me and my Gen X smell of, I don’t know, stale dog biscuits).” ― Louise Candlish, The Other Passenger
“search for the tenderness in his tone but cannot find it. I cannot find it.” ― Louise Candlish, The Swimming Pool
“It was in her hand, as everyone’s was these days, as if phones were dialysis machines that could not be out of reach without life-threatening consequences.” ― Louise Candlish, Those People
“Wall them off?’ Tess said. ‘Like they’re Mexico or West Berlin? That’s a bit unfair on Ant and Em.’ Still, it wasn’t the craziest idea she’d heard to date.” ― Louise Candlish, Those People
“I’m being punished for my lack of breeding, she thought, pleased with the joke if not the situation.” ― Louise Candlish, The Sudden Departure of the Frasers
“weakly.” ― Louise Candlish, The Sudden Departure of the Frasers
“of hers.” ― Louise Candlish, Our House
“Having someone to go home to or to come home to you. Not being alone in the dead of night, not being alone inside your own head.” ― Louise Candlish, The Sudden Departure of the Frasers
“her bag, keeping the phone” ― Louise Candlish, Our House
“But you know what they say are the two most heartbreaking words in the English language? What if. Or, if they don’t, they really should.” ― Louise Candlish, The Other Passenger
“How pathetically our working worlds shrink the moment we depart from them.” ― Louise Candlish, The Sudden Departure of the Frasers
“2020 has a sci-fi ring to it, I feel, like it might be the year of alien landings or the one when the gamma rays get us.” ― Louise Candlish, The Other Passenger
“How awful, all of these people wanting to live each other’s lives. Was it only women, or did men do it, too?” ― Louise Candlish, The Sudden Departure of the Frasers
