Quotes by Rachelle Bergstein (?)

“There is nothing fiercer than a failed artist. The energy remains, but, having no outlet, it implodes in a great black fart of rage which smokes up all the inner windows of the soul.”
― Rachelle Bergstein, The Genius of Judy: How Judy Blume Rewrote Childhood for All of Us
