Indoors Quotes

“Soon they were all sitting on the rocky ledge, which was still warm, watching the sun go down into the lake. It was the most beautiful evening, with the lake as blue as a cornflower and the sky flecked with rosy clouds. They held their hard-boiled eggs in one hand and a piece of bread and butter in the other, munching happily. There was a dish of salt for everyone to dip their eggs into.

‘I don’t know why, but the meals we have on picnics always taste so much nicer than the ones we have indoors,’ said George.”

“Chris, soap people are like
us-they seldom go outdoors. And when they do, we only hear about it,
never see it. They loll about in living rooms, bedrooms, sit in the
kitchens and sip coffee or stand up and drink martinis-but never, never
go outside before our eyes. And whenever something good happens,
whenever they think they're finally going to be happy, some catastrophe
comes along to dash their hopes.”
― V.C. Andrews, Flowers in the Attic

“The afternoon had passed to a ghostly gray. She was struck by the immensity of things, so much water and sky and forest, and after a time it occurred to her that she’d lived a life almost entirely indoors. Her memories were indoor memories, fixed by ceilings and plastered white walls. Her whole life had been locked to geometries: suburban rectangles, city squares. First the house she’d grown up in, then dorms and apartments. The open air had been nothing but a medium of transit, a place for rooms to exist.”
― Tim O'Brien, In the Lake of the Woods

― AMY WOLF

“Like that of the house, the all too common overuse of the neck leads to the underuse of the muscles of the eye.”
― Mokokoma Mokhonoana

“We spend prolonged periods in pubs and restaurants after all, whiling away the hours with friends, waiting in vain for the weather to ease.
Our homes become a natural extension of these convivial spaces: warm and open to guests.
Spending so much time indoors with other people, perhaps over an alcoholic drink, encourages conversation, arguments and resolutions.
It fills us up with more knowledge - or at least allows us to realise there are other opinions aside from our own.”
― Gabriella Bennett, The Art of Coorie: How to Live Happy the Scottish Way

“What manner of woman runs off in a snowstorm?” It was a rhetorical question as much as one he truly wished an answer to.
“One who d-does n-not w-wish to be indoors,” she mumbled.”
― Christi Caldwell, To Tempt a Scoundrel
