“What I wanted was to penetrate so deeply into other people's lives that when they heard my voice they would get the impression they were talking to themselves. If my words multiplied through millions of human hearts, it seemed to me that my existence, though reshaped and transfigured, would still, in a manner of speaking, survive.” I feel as though she achieved her goal.

I have been really enjoying this book. I feel like some things are shocking sometimes but her narrative gives you a sense of knowing her. The book discusses human events in a way that is truthful and therefore adds a greater sense of humanity to them.

“It’s the first occasion on which the march of time has thrust me back unanswerably into past history.” I love how this autobiography has sentences like this which make me reflect and think. You’d think that autobiographies are series of events, one to the other and a description of her feelings about said events. But this autobiography feels like it’s so much more than that, it feels like a conversation.
