Quotes by Joanna Goodman (?)

“El ego tiene una gran capacidad para aferrarse al amor no correspondido como si fuera una especie de fracaso personal, una mancha irrevocable en los logros del pasado.”

“¿Acaso la implacabilidad y pasión con la que perseguían sus deseos más personales, la voluntad obstinada y la negación a aceptar un "no"como respuesta o a darse por vencida no demostraban que las dos poseían, en el interior, el mismo egocentrismo y la misma tenacidad? Quizás ni siquiera fuera algo malo.”
