The Bitch Is Back Quotes

“But the birch tree reminded me of how large the world was and how unimportant was my place in it. It became a reminder: to let things be what they were, to live unsentimentally. To pare away the unnecessary neuroses, the compulsion to be at the center of every thought; to look at the world without the intervening lens of self.”
― Cathi Hanauer, The Bitch Is Back: Older, Wiser, and (Getting) Happier – A Powerful and Provocative Feminist Anthology on Women's Lives, Midlife, and Aging
