Marina Keegan Quotes

Within A Week, "The Opposite Of Loneliness," An Essay That Had Appeared In The Graduation Issue Of The Yale Daily News, Had Been Read By More Than A Million People. "We're So Young. We're So Young," Marina Had Written. "We're Twenty-two Years Old. We Have So Much Time." When A Young Person Dies, Much Of The Tragedy Lies In Her Promise: What She Would Have Done. But Marina Left What She Had Already Done: An Entire Body Of Writing, Far More Than Could Fit Between These Covers. As Her Parents And Friends And I Gathered Her Work, Trying To Find The Most Recent Version Of Every Story And Essay, We Knew That None Of It Was In Exactly The Form She Would Have Wanted To Publish. She Was A Demon Reviser, Rewriting And Rewriting And Rewriting Even When Everyone Else Thought Something Was Done. (THERE CAN ALWAYS BE A BETTER THING.) We Knew We Couldn't Rewrite Her Work; Only She Could Have Done That.
