Quotes by Bernard MacLaverty (?)

“What was love but a lifetime of conversations. And silences. Knowing when to be silent. Above all, knowing when to laugh.”
― Bernard MacLaverty, Midwinter Break

“He believed that everything and everybody in the world was worthy of notice but this person beside him was something beyond that. To him her presence was as important as the world. And the stars around it. If she was an instance of the goodness in this world then passing through by her was miracle enough.”
― Bernard MacLaverty, Midwinter Break
