“Where was that fragile, golden-fair Dresden doll I used to be? Gone.
Gone like porcelain turned into steel-made into someone who would
always get what she wanted, no matter who or what stood in her way.”
― Flowers in the Attic

“Era ese llanto que sobreviene cuando uno se siente opacamente desgraciado. Cuando alguien se siente brillantemente desgraciado, entonces sí vale la pena llorar con acompañamiento de temblores, convulsiones, y, sobre todo, con público. Pero cuando, además de desgraciado, uno se siente opaco, cuando no queda sitio para la rebeldía, el sacrificio o la heroicidad, entonces hay que llorar sin ruido, porque nadie puede ayudar y porque uno tiene conciencia de que eso pasa y al final se retoma el equilibrio, la normalidad.”
