“We are the hero of our own story.”
Mary McCarthy

“Life is a system of recurrent pairs, the poison and the antidote being eternally packaged together by some considerate heavenly druggist.”
Mary McCarthy

“I really tried, or so I thought, to avoid lying, but it seemed to me that they forced it on me by the difference in their vision of things, so that I was always transposing reality for them into something they could understand.”
Mary McCarthy, Memories of a Catholic Girlhood
