Siri Hustvedt Quotes

The Transience Of Human Feeling Is Nothing Short Of Ludicrous. My Mercurial Fluctuations In The Course Of A Single Evening Made Me Feel As If I Had A Character Made Pf Chewing Gum. I Had Fallen Into The Ugly Depths Of Self-pity, A Terrain Just Above The Even More Hideous Lowlands Of Despair. Then, Easily Distracted Twit That I Am, I Had, Soon After, Found Myself On Maternal Heights, Where I Had Practically Swooned With Pleasure As I Bobbed And Fondled The Borrowed Homunculus Next Door. I Had Eaten Well, Drunk Too Much Wine, And Embraced A Young Woman I Hardly Knew. In Short, I Had Thoroughly Enjoyed Myself And Had Every Intention Of Doing So Again. [p. 59]
