Quotes by Rebecca Wait (?)

“First, there are the people with no particular agenda, who will take their cue from you, who will wait quietly to learn who you are. Then there is the other group, the people who will not wait, but who conjure up a personality for you out of odds and ends of their own: some bits of you, certainly, but mixed liberally with scraps of their own needs and prejudices.”
― Rebecca Wait, I’m Sorry You Feel That Way

“She might have said, too, how strange it was that you only noticed normality after it ended, that by its nature it was invisible as long as you were in it.”
― Rebecca Wait, Our Fathers

“What do any of us do in the end except what we believe is right at the time, without having all of the information, without knowing how things will turn out? We leap into the darkness with our only protection our idea of what is right, and who can ask more of us than that?”
― Rebecca Wait, Our Fathers
