Elena Ferrante Quotes

Mario, I Wrote, To Give Myself Courage, Had Not Taken Away The World, He Had Taken Away Only Himself. And You Are Not A Woman Of Thirty Years Ago. You Are Of Today, Take Hold Of Today, Don't Regress, Don't Lose Yourself, Keep A Tight Grip. Above All, Don't Give Into Distracted Or Malicious Or Angry Monologues. Eliminate The Exclamation Points. He's Gone, You're Still Here. You'll No Longer Enjoy The Gleam Of His Eyes, Of His Words, But So What? Organize Your Defenses, Preserve Your Wholeness, Don't Let Yourself Break Like An Ornament, You're Not A Knickknack, No Woman Is A Knickknack. La Femme Rompue, Ah, Rompue, The Destroyed Woman, Destroyed, Shit. My Job, I Thought, Is To Demonstrate That One Can Remain Healthy. Demonstrate It To Myself, No One Else. If I Am Exposed To Lizards, I Will Fight The Lizards. If I Am Exposed To Ants, I Will Fight The Ants. If I Am Exposed To Thieves, I Will Fight The Thieves. If I Am Exposed To Myself, I Will Fight Myself.
