Fury: A Memoir QUOTES

1 " My boyfriends have all been as stoical as queen's guards. They'd been patient, committed, and dispassionate, and I'd had to really debase myself to extract any emotion, either grin or grimace, from them. "

― Koren Zailckas , Fury: A Memoir

2 " I'd written Smashed not because I was ambitious and not because writing down my feelings was cathartic (it felt more like playing one's own neurosurgeon sans anesthesia). No. I'd made a habit--and eventually a profession--of memoir because I hail from one of those families where shows of emotions are discouraged. "

― Koren Zailckas , Fury: A Memoir

3 " I'm trying to figure out precisely which character flaw might be responsible for my latest life failure. "

― Koren Zailckas , Fury: A Memoir

4 " There's a limit to my patience with anything that smacks of metaphysics. I squirm at the mention of "mind expansion" or "warm healing energy." I don't like drum circles, public nudity or strangers touching my feet. "
