Malena’s Quotes

“We knew, eventually, we would want different things. Then we started wanting them.”
― Maggie Smith, You Could Make This Place Beautiful

“I could talk about how a lie is worse than whatever the lie is draped over to conceal. I could talk about what a complete mindfuck it is to lose the shelter of your marriage, but also how expansive the view is without that shelter, how big the sky is—”
― Maggie Smith, You Could Make This Place Beautiful

“If years ago someone had said, your husband will do X, or your husband will say Y, what would I have done? First of all, and crucially: I wouldn’t have believed it. Second of all: If I had believed it, I would’ve changed paths—turned back to page 22, flipped ahead to page 41. If I’d been convinced, finally, of its truth, its inevitability, I would’ve chosen a different way.”
― Maggie Smith, You Could Make This Place Beautiful
