Lidija Hilje
“It wasn't until years later that I saw her words for what they really meant. If people want to love you, they do, no matter how flawed you are. But if they aren't inclined to love you, nothing you say or do, no amount of your own goodness, can make them change their mind.”
Lidija Hilje, Slanting Towards the Sea

“Do you have to make such a big deal out of everything? they said. Do you have to be so sensitive? But I couldn’t find a way to be something other than what I was. I could only hide it.”
Lidija Hilje, Slanting Towards the Sea

“I had been hiding for so long I didn’t believe it possible that someone could see me. But someone had. And that felt even worse.”
Lidija Hilje, Slanting Towards the Sea

“But going back to my maiden name felt like trying to wriggle myself into my old high school jeans. It didn't fit anymore, and suddenly I was a stranger to all my identities.”
Lidija Hilje, Slanting Towards the Sea

Lidija Hilje
“I cried because I was only nineteen and I was already so tired of carrying around that jagged grain of loneliness on the inside that always threatened to cut me if I made a wrong turn. I cried because I had all this love inside me, and it had nowhere to go.”
Lidija Hilje, Slanting Towards the Sea
