“Love, I would later conclude, was all things to all people. Love was the breaking and healing of hearts. Love was misunderstood, love was faith, love was the promise of now that became hope for the future. Love was a rhythm, a resonance, a reverberation. Love was awkward and foolish, it was aggressive and simple and possessed of so many indefinable qualities it could never be conveyed in language. Love was being. The same gravity that relentlessly pulled at me was defied as I rose into something that became everything.”
― R J Ellory

“Let the past be what it was, the present what it is, the future the best it can be.”

“Loneliness is a drug, a narcotic; it grows through veins, through nerves and muscles; it assumes some right of possession over your body and mind; it feeds itself, and creates its own requirement. Loneliness and solitude are walls.”
― R.J. Ellory

“Truth is truth, you are who you are, and though your viewpoint might change, and though you might possess a different perspective about something, your heart and what you believe and who you are inside is only ever you...and you have to follow your heart, you have to believe what you're doing is right, and no matter what anyone might say or think or do you have to trust yourself to make the right decision.”
― R J Ellory, Candlemoth

“A life to hold, or to see slip through uncaring and inattentive hands, but always a life. And given one, we wish for two, or three, or more, so easily forgetting the one we had was spent unwisely”
― R.J. Ellory, A Quiet Belief in Angels

“Blame is a bitter and indigestible thing, even when the blame is a coat you cut for yourself, even when you stood right there and got yourself measured so you could wear it right.”
― R.J. Ellory

“The city went on about its business. A new day would soon begin, and nothing so inconsequential as a death possessed the power to delay it. It was just a life, after all: no more, nor less than that.”

“Some of us, I imagine, write out of anger; some out of pain; some write out of prejudice or loss, some out of passion, the promise of something better, perhaps the belief that—even now—a book can be capable of changing a life. Some of us write to remember, some to forget; some to change things, some to ensure things stay the same. Some of us—as my editor and agent will all too easily testify—write because we cannot stop.”
― R.J. Ellory

“Perhaps some of us will have learned enough to make a difference, to influence things for the better, to wait until the moment is right, and then act.
And despite appearances, despite all indications to the contrary, despite reticence for fear of what others might think, I still felt we all possessed this quiet belief.
A quiet belief in angels.”

“Sometimes it feels like life is there to teach you as many things about hurting as it can. That may be true. You can experience all the trouble you want, but that don’t mean you have to spend all your time thinking about it. Bad memories have long shadows. Spend the rest of your life inside of them and you never get warm.”
― R.J. Ellory, Bad Signs

― R.J. Ellory, Bad Signs

― R.J. Ellory, Bad Signs

“The thing Clay saw, the thing he now understood, was that the darkness of man was not an illusion. Men and women â€� the bold and the brave, the anxious, the timid, the poor, the wealthy, the sincere and the shallow â€� all hoped that evil was an illusion, but it was not.”
