Beneath the Attic Quotes

“When you don’t let go of the dead, you turn them into ghosts,”
― V.C. Andrews, Beneath the Attic

“I always imagined that the big things that happen to us in our lives, the directions we take, are as currents in a stream. Sometimes they are smooth, graceful, and gentle, and sometimes they are raging. Wisdom, whatever I possess, tells me that you have to know what sort of current you are in and what exactly you can do about it. “If it’s the raging current, you can battle it and smash yourself or be smashed against obstacles, boulders, whatever. In the end, the current will have its way anyway, or you can choose to not only let it carry you but swim faster than it can carry you.”
― V.C. Andrews, Beneath the Attic

“Lies between people who love each other are like cancer.”

“I had yet to speak. My whole body felt as though it was still vibrating. I had just done the most intimate thing a woman could do with a man, but it hadn’t been how I had imagined it would be. It was too quick and too rough. Where was the fantasy I had designed for myself in so many daydreams?”
― V.C. Andrews, Beneath the Attic
