"I have come back
but disorder is not what it was.
I have lost the trick of it!
The innocence of it!
(...)
I have come back,
recommitted,
fastened to the wall like a bathroom plunger,
held like a prisoner
who was so poor
he fell in love with jail."

"but I am rowing, I am rowing,
though the wind pushes me back
and I know that that island will not be perfect,
it will have the flaws of life,
the absurdities of the dinner table,
but there will be a door
and I will open it
and I will get rid of the rat inside of me,
the gnawing pestilential rat."

"She never labelled herself a 'feminist', bur her fruitful career did indeed break through her assigned role as a 'housewife' in the fifties and early sixties (...) In her copy of the groundbreaking 'The Feminine Mystique' by the American author Betty Friedan, Anne underlined so hard with her pencil that the page was scored, as she wrote repeatedly in the margin 'This is me! Me!'"
