“The world makes you, and then you see it through the eyes it gives you. Another man sees the same world, but he doesn't have the same eyes.”
― Peacekeeping
― Peacekeeping
“Mona sat in the late-fall sunshine outside Vanessa Levin’s house and wondered why she had been so resistant to that thought, which seemed to her now both true and slightly banal. Of course she’d been after a daddy—just like Vanessa back then, both of them agreeing to sleep with Milton, and worship Milton, to substitute for inadequate paternal love, just like so many other women in Milton’s complicated little harem over the years. And not just Milton’s harem: Cleopatra went through one powerful older Roman general after another. Mona married Phil. Sheila married Bruce. None of it was so mysterious or subtle at all, or so terrible for that matter: at the end of the long day, a good daddy was a good thing to have.”
