Quotes by Marjorie DeLuca (?)

“She poisoned my life with a secret.
One that must be guarded with lies.
But I read once in a poetry book that a lie is but the truth in masquerade, so I am not afraid, for this past year I have survived by subterfuge and pretence.”
― Marjorie DeLuca, The Savage Instinct

Thanks for the book recommendation, Majorie. It is actually a book I wanted to reread for such a long time. It is too many years since the first time :-) I have downloaded a copy of it just now.
