“celia helped ground me, helped me to keep moving forward.” i think the one thing i missed on my first read was how much the two of them grew whether that be attributed to aging or time spent apart idk!!!!!! but i will always be sick over them!

“my heart was never in the craft of acting, only in the proving. proving my power, proving my worth, proving my talent. i’d proved it all.”

“‘and to anyone tempted to kiss the tv tonight, please don’t chip your tooth.’” SO THERE’S THIS BEST WRITTEN LINE IN ALL OF LITERARY HISTORY

“i dispensed with white, having long ago stopped feigning innocence.”

evelyn was just gay and sad at a certain point like omg.

“‘and there’s one other person out there, whom i think of every day.’” FUCK MY STUPID FUCKIGN LIFE I FORGOT THIS HAPPENED

“i had very little energy left to hide who we were. i had learned all too well that pain was sometimes stronger than the need to keep up appearances.” ITS TOO LATE MIMI

“‘i broke celia’s heart because i spent half my time loving her and the other half hiding how much i loved her.’” who else was just shot dead

“‘evelyn, you are not capable of giving it up. and you never will be. and it will be the tragedy of my life that i cannot love you enough to make you mine. that you cannot be loved enough to be anyone’s.’” after the day i’ve had man. YOU REALLY DO FORGET HOW DEVASTATING THIS BOOK GETS WHY DO I DO THIS TO MYSELF
