Dona’s Quotes

“Stories are a different kind of true.”

“The decisions I made after that moment were not the ones she would have made. They were the choices of a changed person, a new self.

I call it an education”

“It's weird to have something that's mine-not-Ma's. Everything else is both of ours. I guess my body is mine and the ideas that happen in my head. But my cells are made out of her cells so I'm kind of hers.”
― Emma Donoghue, Room
