Kristen’s Quotes

“She looked over at her brother and knew without doubt he was the color to her shade.”
― Chris Whitaker, We Begin at the End

“Single women could work all they wanted; married women locked themselves into a gilded cage. All of that had seemed natural before. Now, it made me angry. Now, I saw how a woman might sometimes want to steer her own course rather than trail her husband like a favored dog.”
― Therese Anne Fowler, Z: A Novel of Zelda Fitzgerald

“For all stories have an ending as well as a beginning. But a beginning is where you choose to plant your foot, and the ending is only the edge of one's own knowledge.”
― Yangsze Choo, The Fox Wife

“We glared at each other then, with the kind of hatred that comes from being deliberately wounded in one’s softest, most vulnerable places by a person who used to love you passionately.”
― Therese Anne Fowler, Z: A Novel of Zelda Fitzgerald

“The world is not respectable; it is mortal, tormented, confused, deluded forever; but it is shot through with beauty, with love, with glints of courage and laughter; and in these, the spirit blooms timidly, and struggles to the light amid the thorns.”
― George Santayana
