The Summer Place Quotes

“She’d seen it happen to her friends, fellow PhD students, some who’d published their work. Put a ring on their finger and, through some dark magic, they turned into wives and mothers, and instead of talking about Elizabethan poetry or symbolism in Shakespeare’s sonnets or how the market economy had shaped post–Civil War America, it was all teething and toilet training and which towns had the most desirable school districts.”

“At least, a woman couldn’t. The world made space for men who left; who walked away from wives and children, sometimes more than once. Maybe the world had to make room for those men because there were so many of them; men who put themselves, or their careers or their dreams or their desire to sleep with other people, ahead of their spouses and children. The world forgave them. It gave them second and third chances. Women were not offered any such grace. A divorced man who’d moved out of the family home, to a different town or a different state or even a different country, could still be regarded, in some circles, as a catch. A woman who did it was a monster.”

“Ruby hadn’t grown up with a mother who was miserable, a mother who’d taught her daughter, by example, that sacrifice and self-abnegation were what made a woman a good wife and mother. A little selfishness could be healthy. It could even save your life. That, she thought, was a message more girls and women could stand to hear, a thing that few were ever taught.”

“Moochie, I hope that wherever you are, you can catch every cat you chase, that you get to eat every chicken wing you find, and that nobody complains when you wake them up in the middle of the night and pretend you have to go out just so you can nudge them out of the warm spot in the bed.”

“Ronnie had never set out to write that kind of book, even though she’d happily read dozens of them, along with horror and romance and mysteries and every other kind of fiction. She’d simply failed at writing the kind of book she thought she’d wanted to write, the kind the critics would appreciate and future English majors would someday study. Attempting to change the kind of voice in which you wrote, or the subjects that interested you, she’d finally decided, was like trying to change your blood type.”

“It was the constancy of it, the unending-ness. She felt crowded and edgy and half-crazy; every time she turned around there was someone standing too close to her, speaking too loudly, needing something. Mom, have you seen my sweatshirt? Mom, can we have chicken with mashed potatoes for dinner? Mama, do you know where my phone charger went? Sorry, Mrs. D., but we’re out of toilet paper on the fourth floor. Every request, no matter how polite, clawed at her with sharp nails. Every breath of air in the house felt stale and flat, like it had already been in and out of someone else’s lungs; every surface she touched felt sticky. And she knew, from her friends, that she wasn’t the only woman feeling that way. They were all trying to do too much, for too many people, in too little space, trying to manage their jobs and their kids’ schooling, the meals and the housework and their working-from-home partners or spouses while they clung to sanity with their fingernails.”
