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

“At the same time, you have to find the right distance between people. Too close, and they overwhelm you, too far and they abandon you. How to hold them in the right relation?”
Hanif Kureishi, Intimacy

“Soon we will be strangers. No, we can never be that. Hurting someone is an act of reluctant intimacy. We will be dangerous acquaintances with a history.”
Hanif Kureishi, Intimacy

“Falling in love was simple; one had only to yield. Digesting another person, however, and sustaining love, was bloody work, and not a soft job.”
Hanif Kureishi, Midnight all Day
