Biography
Quotes
- Was it happiness I'd found in my long marriage? Or capitulation? Or is that all happiness is, capitulation?
- That was happiness. Not the framed greatest hits, but the moments in between. At the time, I hadn't pegged them as being particularly happy. But now, looking back at those phantom snapshots, I'm struck by my calm, my ease, the evident comfort with my life. I'm happy in retrospect.
