Best 4 A. A. Gill Quotes

acceptable rules, or laws. It could be a smile,
or dancing to a song that you considered to be
indefinably ‘ours’. It can feel like cheating to go
to a restaurant that you used to go to with
someone else. Keeping photographs of exes
can infuriate, like retrospective cheating.

Cowboy boots you can’t wear unless you actually
