Katrina’s Quotes

“Then it’s just day by day. And most days are beautiful, Don. It’s regretting yesterday or overthinking tomorrow, that’s when ugliness comes in, right?”
― Dean Bakopoulos, Summerlong: A Novel

“They had been married for seventeen years; she lived in the deepest room in his heart. And sometimes that meant that wife occurred to him before Mathilde, helpmeet before herself. Abstraction of her before the visceral being. But not now. When she came across the veranda, he saw Mathilde all of a sudden. The dark whip at the center of her. How, so gently, she flicked it and kept him spinning.”
― Lauren Groff, Fates and Furies

“Because it’s true: more than the highlights, the bright events, it was in the small and the daily where she’d found life.”

“It occurred to her then that life was conical in shape, the past broadening beyond the sharp point of the lived moment. The more life you had, the more the base expanded, so that the wounds and treasons that were nearly imperceptible when they happened stretched like tiny dots on a balloon slowly blown up. A speck on the slender child grows into a gross deformity in the adult, inescapable, ragged at the edges.”
― Lauren Groff, Fates and Furies
