Quotes by Jessie Chaffee  (?)

“I could not imagine a death vile enough to match my desire, St. Angela writes. But it wasn't Julian that filled me and emptied me. It was that other thing I clutched close. I loved it and hurt it me. Both were true. But had I loved it because it hurt me? I don't know. But I understand the profound joy and loss in Angela's plea: Who would not be set afire with such love? What heart could keep from breaking?”
Jessie Chaffee, Florence in Ecstasy

“Do not ask me to give in to this body of mine, St. Margaret pleads when urged to eat. Between me and my body there must be a struggle until death”
Jessie Chaffee, Florence in Ecstasy
