Quotes by Elizabeth Beller (?)

“Death is nothing at all. It does not count. I’ve only slipped away into the next room… Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? I am waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere, very near, just around the corner. All is well. Nothing is hurt. Nothing is lost. One brief moment, and all will be as it was before. How we shall laugh at the trouble of parting when we meet again.”
― Elizabeth Beller, Once Upon a Time: The Captivating Life of Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy

“The backlash against feminism in the 1990's is the historical and cultural context in which I now perceive Carolyn's story. Women who spoke up about workplace inequality or domestic abuse were dismissed as histronic troublemakers. The new twenty-four-hour tabloid media - which skewered Anita Hill, reduced Marcia Clark to a "lawyerette," and blamed Monica Lewinsky for her affair with President Clinton - leveled unprecedented vitriol at Carolyn. It was all too easy to cast this unknown figure, who had no public profile until she met John, as a wild banshee, a vapid fashionista, or an undeserving harpy.”

“[My stylist] has a vested interest, however imaginary, in John Jr.’s future.” The irrational fantasy that they might one day be in John Kennedy’s life perhaps explains the swift backlash against Camelot’s newest princess.”
