“Romance with Fiction Burns”
“There has always been an elegance to the application of excellence.”
“Too often in my life, love has been defined as "humiliation with occasional roses".”
“Superstition has been defined as the use of a form whose significance has been forgotten.”
“Other than along certain emotional tangents there was little in the book that felt as if it had actually been lived. It was a fiction produced by someone who knew only fictions, The Tempest as written by isolate Miranda, raised on the romances in her father's library.”
