Blowing off the Sea


Christina Richards
“The long, drawn-out process of being undermined by inertia had made him unsure of anything anymore. He had brief interludes of absolute clarity, usually when he was on the beach or sitting among the dunes sheltering him from the biting cold winds blowing off the sea, and it sometimes seemed to him the whole thing was pointless.” - The Man Who Smiled, Henning Mankell

Not to burst your bubble... but all of these lovely quotes? They were buried in slightly dull books. I haven't finished a one of them.
