"The wall was tacked with my heroes but my efforts seemed less than heroic." The way I relate...

“(Ed was in trouble) I grabbed my black lamb toy that Robert had given to me. It was his black sheep boy to black sheep girl present. Ed was something of a black sheep himself, so I took it along as a comforting talisman.”

God, I love artsy people.

Some of my favorite quotes up until now:
- My love of prayer was gradually rivalled by my love for the book.
- No one expected me. Everything awaited me.
- I wondered why he devoted so much time to me. I reasoned it was because we were both wearing long coats in July, the brotherhood of La Bohème.
- Romanticism could not quench my need for food.
(I couldn’t fit the longer quotes on here 🥲)

Something in Patti’s writing style captivates me so much.

Happy to be reading a book with more female energy after finishing 1984.
