Amira’s Notes & Highlights

An Unnecessary Woman by Rabih Alameddine

1 highlight

I did not wait for the smell of him to dissipate on its own. I expunged it.

“I only knew that I had seen perfection face to face, and that the world had become wonderful to my eyes-- too wonderful, perhaps, for in such mad worships there is peril, the peril of losing them, no less than the peril of keeping them...”
― Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray
