Quotes by Deirdre Madden  (?)

“I realize that a certain school of thought
says that who we are is something we construct for ourselves. We build ourselves out of what we think we remember, what we believe to be true about our life; and the possessions we gather around us are supposedly a part of this, that we are, to some extent what we own.”
Deirdre Madden, Molly Fox's Birthday

“I had been here during heavy rain, the kind of rain that becomes pleasurable to watch because it makes of the house a haven. The rooms in which one moves become a world apart from the wet streets, the sodden garden.”
Deirdre Madden, Molly Fox's Birthday

“Dark feelings can become a habit. And if they're strong enough, like many strong feelings, they can even be enjoyable.”
Deirdre Madden, Molly Fox's Birthday
