Frasi di Laurie King

“Eccentricty had flowered into madness.”

“That's what tears are for, you know, to wash away the fear and cool the hate.”

“You cannot help being a female, and I should be something of a fool were I to discount your talents merely because of their housing.”

“I took to the Bodleian library as to a lover and… would sit long hours in Bodley's arms to emerge, blinking and dazed with the smell and feel of all those books.”

“Men do, I've found, accept the most errant nonsense from a well dressed woman”

“The words given voice inside the mind are not always clear, however; they can be gentle and elliptical, what the prophets call the, the daughter of the voice of God, she who speaks in whispers and half-seen images.”

“… but somehow the madness around me and the turmoil I carried within myself acted as counterweights, and I survived in the centre.”

“My God, it can recognise another human being when it's hit over the head with one.”
