"I'd hate to be seen and known, and still be found wanting."

Same here, Lis.

"There she goes again with the fine. I do not want fine, Nora. If I wanted fine, I'd have accepted forty portraits by now. I want something more."

SHE WANTS MORE! GIVE IT TO HER, NORA!!!

"You notice life everywhere, and yet you reflect none of it back."

Lisette sees right through you, Nora. You can stop whatever you are doing and start making the portrait more lively, for goodness sake.

"The way you watch me... show me what you see when you look at me."

Yes, Nora, just paint how she turns you on.

Wait, so you wrote a book about a character that you made us dislike in the first one? I hope you make me like her somehow, because right now I feel nothing but disdain for her.
