Quotes by C.J. Hauser  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“I need you to know: I hated that I needed more than this from him. There is nothing more humiliating to me than my own desires. Nothing that makes me hate myself more than being burdensome and less than self-sufficient. I did not want to feel like the kind of nagging woman who might exist in a sit-com.”
C.J. Hauser, The Crane Wife: A Memoir in Essays

“People know how it goes. It’s harder to tell the story of how I convinced myself I didn’t need what was necessary to survive. How I convinced myself it was my lack of needs that made me worthy of love.”
C.J. Hauser, The Crane Wife: A Memoir in Essays

“For years, I have convinced myself that love is meant to be an act of extreme and transformative caretaking. And so I’ve been more savior than partner. More robot than girl. More nurse than lover.”
C.J. Hauser, The Crane Wife: A Memoir in Essays
