“I thought I understood what was best. I knew too little and believed too soon.”
“With a certain frustration I knew I spoke too soon, too urgently. I wanted to get out of the way the things I knew to say, wanted to say, the things I'd been thinking, all in the hope of moving into the unforeseen.”
“In a word, I was too cowardly to do what I knew to be right, as I had been too cowardly to avoid doing what I knew to be wrong.”
“I believe that anyone who claims to know what's going on will lie about the little things too.”
“I have tried," I said, "but he does not believe me. It is too late for that now" (it is always too late for truth, I thought).”
“I revealed too much too soon. I was emotionally slutty.”
