✦ Ellen’s Reviews ✦’s Notes & Highlights

Leaving by Roxana Robinson

11 highlights

“What about you? How’s your marriage?” He says nothing for a moment. “Marriage is complicated, isn’t it?” So he’s not happy. She waits. “You make it work as best you can,” he says.

✦ Ellen’s Reviews ✦’s Quotes

“We are all living, at most, half of a life, she thought. There was the life you lived, which consisted of the choices you made. And then, there was the other life, the one that was the things you hadn't chosen.”
― Gabrielle Zevin, Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow

“What is a game?" Marx said. "It's tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow. It's the possibility of infinite rebirth, infinite redemption. The idea that if you keep playing, you could win. No loss is permanent, because nothing is permanent, ever.”
― Gabrielle Zevin, Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow

“All of which was to say that the sketches I’d written over the years about the absurdity and arbitrariness of beauty standards for women had arisen not from my clear-eyed renunciation of them but from my resentment at their hold on me.”
― Curtis Sittenfeld, Romantic Comedy
