Anita Shreve Quotes

And Yet. And Yet. If Asked - If Pressed - Honora Would Have To Say She Is Strangely Content. It's An Odd Feeling That She Cannot Describe To Anyone - Not To Her Mother And Certainly Not To Sexton, Whose Unhappiness Seems To Have No Bounds, Whose Unhappiness Is Defined Now By What He Does Not Have, Which Is Almost Everything. He Will Always, In His Mind, Be The Salesman Who No Longer Has Anything To Sell. A Man Who Longs For The Open Road But Who Cannot Ever Take It. Whereas Honora, Oddly, Now Has More Purpose Than She Ever Did Before. She Is A Dutiful Wife Who Tends To Her Husband In Spite Of His Weaknesses. She Is A Woman With Ingenuity. She Is A Woman Without Illusions. She Is A Woman Who, Above All, Is Too Busy Trying To Make A Go Of It To Fret About Her Marriage.
