Katherine’s Notes & Highlights

The Phoenix Crown by Kate Quinn

1 highlight

Short affairs during a production were all right, perhaps. No one got hurt as long as no one fell in love. But in the long run, theater men let you down twice as reliably as the ordinary kind.

“What you're supposed to do when you don't like a thing is change it. If you can't change it, change the way you think about it. Don't complain.”
