“My life story is the story of everyone I've ever met.”
“Every story I've written was written because I had to write it. Writing stories is like breathing for me; it is my life.”
“The story of my life can be told in silver: in chocolate mills, serving spoons, and services for twelve. The story of my life has nothing to do with me. The story of my life is things. Things that aren’t mine, that won’t ever be mine. It’s all I’ve ever known.I wish it wasn’t.”
“Now that I've let go of my story, I can let go of my life.”
“Not everyone's life will be a great love story.”
“Orwell says somewhere that no one ever writes the real story of their life. The real story of a life is the story of its humiliations.”
