“Do you like a good ghost story?”-Jonah”
“This is a story about a family and, as there is a ghost involved, you might cal it a ghost story. But every family is a ghost story. The dead sit at out tables long after they have gone.”
“There are books full of great writing that don't have very good stories. Read sometimes for the story... don't be like the book-snobs who won't do that. Read sometimes for the words--the language. Don't be like the play-it-safers who won't do that. But when you find a book that has both a good story and good words, treasure that book.”
“Every love story is a ghost story.”
“You and me are going to have so much fun, Rose. Picking out curtains, doing each other's hair, telling ghost stories....”
“All love stories beget ghost stories.”
