Nick Hornby Quotes About Worry

• People worry about kids playing with guns, and teenagers watching violent videos; we are scared that some sort of culture of violence will take them over. Nobody worries about kids listening to thousands - literally thousands - of songs about broken hearts and rejection and pain and misery and loss.

• Look at all the things that can go wrong for men. There’s the nothing-happening-at-all problem, the too-much-happening-too-soon problem, the dismal-droop-after-a-promising-beginning problem; there’s the size-doesn’t-matter-except-in-my-case problem, the failing-to-deliver-the-goods problem…and what do women have to worry about? A handful of cellulite? Join the club. A spot of I-wonder-how-I-rank? Ditto.

• You spend Christmas at somebody's house, you worry about their operations, you give them hugs and kisses and flowers, you see them in their dressing gown...and then bang, that's it. Gone forever. And sooner or later there will be another mum, another Christmas, more varicose veins. They're all the same. Only the addresses, and the colors of the dressing gown, change.

• I never mind the accusations of domesticity, as long as people recognise that all of us, even the luckiest, will live lives in which we have our hearts broken, suffer the loss of loved ones, worry ourselves half to death about our kids.

• El tipo de amor del que habla mi madre está lleno de preocupaciones y trabajo y de perdonar a la gente y de aguantar cosas y cosas así. No es muy divertido, eso está claro. Si eso es realmente el amor, el tipo de amor del que habla mi madre, entonces nadie puede saber si ama a alguien, ¿verdad? Parece que lo que quiere decir es que si estás seguro de que quieres a alguien, como yo lo estuve en aquellas semanas, no puedes quererle, porque eso no es el amor. Tratar de entender lo que ella entiende por amor te haría perder la cabeza.
