“I want to make something of myself. I believe it’s called a statue.”
“I could not say I believe. I know! I have had the experience of being gripped by something that is stronger than myself, something that people call God.”
“I didn’t want to tell the story of myself, but someone I called myself. If you read yourself as fiction, it’s rather more liberating than reading yourself as fact.”
“I don't just want to catch some guy and have a bunch of kids. I want to make something of myself.”
“I told myself it was the snow—she couldn’t possibly get to Philadelphia on the roads. I told myself a hundred lies. Children do that. It’s amazing the sorts of things you’ll make yourself believe.”
“It’s my future and my life and I can’t make myself live the way someone else wants me to.”
