“I have a terrible memory; I never forget a thing.”
Edith Konecky

“Nobody's perfect,' my mother said. 'You'll have to learn to get along with him.'

'You can't learn to get along with him,' I said, 'any more than you can learn to get along with a volcano.”
Edith Konecky, Allegra Maud Goldman

“He is not a pleasant person,' I said. 'I don't know what we need him for.'

'You'll just have to learn to get along with him,' my mother replied. We were speaking of her husband, the man she had chosen to father her children.”
Edith Konecky, Allegra Maud Goldman
