Quotes
“Eventually it comes to you: the thing that makes you exceptional, if you are at all, is inevitably that which must also make you lonely.”
p. 137 “Children see things very well sometimes — and idealists even better.”
A Raisin in the Sun, Act III “Don’t get up. Just sit a while and think. Never be afraid to sit a while and think.”
A Raisin in the Sun, Act III “A woman who is willing to be herself and pursue her own potential runs not so much the risk of loneliness as the challenge of exposure to more interesting men — and people in general.”
p. 15
