Quotes by Graham Swift  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“How quick and rushing life can sometimes seem, when at the same time it's so slow and sweet and everlasting.”
Graham Swift, Tomorrow

“Children, be curious. Nothing is worse (I know it) than when curiosity stops. Nothing is more repressive than the repression of curiosity. Curiosity begets love. It weds us to the world. It's part of our perverse, madcap love for this impossible planet we inhabit. People die when curiosity goes. People have to find out, people have to know.”
Graham Swift, Waterland

“What we wish upon the future is very often the image of some lost, imagined past.”
Graham Swift, Waterland
