Quotes by Melanie Notkin (?)

“I'm not looking for a man who will save me. I don't need saving. But I do long for a man who is chivalrous. I would like to meet a man who will bring out the best in me and encourage me and support me in my endeavors. I have always been romantic, but I've never lived in a fantasy world. I've always lived in reality and want to man who lives there, too. I know the difference between fantasy and reality.”

“Nora agrees. "I mean, is Prince Charming really the kind of man who seems like he knows how to have great sex? Because he doesn't seem like that to me." He seems like a great-looking guy who got lucky being born into royalty. I'm not attracted to lucky. I'm attracted to hard work. Hard work is much more f*ck-able than luck-able.”

“We tell ourselves stories in order to live...We look for the sermon in the suicide, for the social or moral lesson in the murder of five. We interpret what we see, select the most workable of the multiple choices. We live entirely, especially if we are writers, by the imposition of a narrative line upon disparate images, by the "ideas" with which we have learned to freeze the shifting phantasmagoria which is our actual experience.”
― Joan Didion, The White Album
