Quotes from Dennis Lehane's Sacred

Little guy has been sick with a cold, which has settled into his chest, and it bothers him mostly in the middle of the night. So I haven't been sleeping much of late. This means that I'm nodding off by 8:30 pm and haven't been awake enough to post.

In the absence of anything interesting to say, here are two of my favorite quotes for Dennis Lehane's Sacred:

"I bent and wrapped my good arm around her waist. I lifted her off the floor, sat her on the sink, and kissed her as her legs curled around the back of mine and her sandals dropped to the floor. For at least five minutes, we barely came up for air. These last few months, I hadn't just been hungry for her tongue, her lips, her taste-- I'd been weak and light-headed from wanting." Patrick Kenzie about Angela Gennaro.

"The ornament of beauty, Shakespeare wrote, is suspect. And he was right. But beauty itself, unadorned and unaffected, is sacred, I think, worthy of our awe and our loyalty." Patrick Kenzie.
