Richard Jackson Quotes

Young people think they know it all, but a lot of old salts around know they don't.

Some days you exist like the last speaker of an extinct language. These are the silences that litter the heart.

Can you imagine a silence so desperate to be heard?

We will spend the rest of the day inventing a kind of love that no longer exists in the world, a kind of love no army can pillage at the outposts, no rumor could bring to its knees like a traitor.

Maybe I should just lie quietly inside you while our old selves slip in and out of the back rooms of the soul.
