Kate Chopin Quotes

For The First Time, She Recognized The Symptoms Of Infatuation Which She Had Felt Incipiently As A Child, As A Girl In Her Early Teens, And Later As A Young Woman. The Recognition Did Not Lessen The Reality, The Poignancy Of The Revelation By Any Suggestion Or Promise Of Instability. The Past Was Nothing To Her; Offered No Lesson Which She Was Willing To Heed. The Future Was A Mystery Which She Never Attempted To Penetrate. The Present Alone Was Significant; Was Hers, To Torture Her As It Was Doing Then With The Biting Conviction That She Had Lost That Which She Had Held, She Had Been Denied That Which Her Impassioned, Newly Awakened Being Demanded.
