“I made the best mistakes. It was not like the sun came up or I stopped crying or I had any more power within me. It was not like all those sensual metaphors of awakening that keep you chained to hope. I still go to bed at night and hate—and hate knowing that the world's a mirror.”

“Virginia Woolf killed herself. She was a lesbian—or maybe she was just a woman writer.”

“But remember that in order to symbolize everything to everyone, you will be both loved and hated.”
