Mary Karr Quotes

It Takes An Obsessive Streak That Borders On Lunacy To Go Rummaging Around In The Past As Memoirists Are Wont To Do, Particularly A Fragmented Or Incendiary Past, In Which Facts Are Sparse And Stories Don't Match Up. I Don't Know If Memoirists As Children Are Lied To More Often As Kids Or Only Grow Up To Resent It More, But It Does Seem We Often Come From The Ranks Of Orphans Or Half-orphans-through-divorce, Trying To Heal Schisms Inside Ourselves. Like Everybody, I Suppose, People We Loved Broke Our Hearts Because Only They Had Access To Them, And We Broke Our Own Hearts Later By Following Their Footsteps And Reenacting Their Mistakes.
