It’s not what I expected. It’s a lot of trauma dumping I feel like. It’s got moments of sweetness amid the chaos. But I can’t stop reading it, well, listening I have it as an audiobook.

“i have made a different path for myself. … i have created myself as someone who, on most days, i like, respect, and love. i have made my way into myself and learned that love, too, is contagious. i have learned that healing is possible. that we can make lives that we couldn’t even have imagined when we were little and that we can carry the little ones who we were into these new and luminous lives”

“i believe that stories can save us. our stories are our greatest currency. what one person is willing to share with another is a test of intimacy, a gift that’s given. ... life is complex and rich — dark, yes, but also stunningly beautiful.”

the mother who modeled nude for artists and had a relationship with Bill Rivers but then became a housewife who lit up when she danced or saw her old building or talked about Shakespeare.....all of which she rarely did....locked up her glittering wit and intellect in the cage of supporting her husband's business.....that shit broke me + the sneaky racism at play was crazy. Dylan Landis ladies and gentlemen!

“And as Elie Wiesel said, the opposite of love is not hate, but indifference—and one thing you could never call my father was indifferent. He was there. Front and center, in your face, all the time.”
