"If not violently overthrown, expectation can have a power in itself, can invest a place with what literally isn't there."

Power

"Pain is always emotional. Fear and depression keep constant company with chronic hurting."

Emotion

Quote_1.png
Siri Hustvedt
"There's a phenomenology of being sick, one that depends on temperament, personal history, and the culture which we live in."

Illness

Quote_1.png
Siri Hustvedt
"It is true that I suffered in a difficult and stupid love affair and that I worked at one bad job after another to try to keep myself going. Nevertheless, I remember that time as extraordinary, and I wouldn't trade it for anything. I don't even wish now that I had more money. And had I been asked if I was suffering at the time, I would have said a defiant no."

Resilience

Siri Hustvedt
"I imagined Stephen's companion was a beautiful woman. Her form and coloring changed with my moving thoughts, but the idea that she existed remained to nag at me, and even though she was only a spook of my jealousy, I couldn't stop the surge of fantasies about her and Stephen. By the time I left the library, I had invented several elaborate plots involving the two of them."

Creativity

"No doubt I would have felt reverent in less lovely places, because I imagined a past I connected to myself."

Memory

Quote_1.png
Siri Hustvedt
"In this early memory he looks different from the way I would remember him later."

Perception

Quote_1.png
Siri Hustvedt
"In order to be accepted, women must compensate for their ambition and strength by being nice. Men don't have to be nearly as much d as women. I do not believe women are natively nicer than men. They may learn that niceness brings rewards and hat names ambition is often punished. They may ingratiate themselves because such behavior is rewarded and a strategy of stealth may lead to better results than being forthright, but even when women are open and direct, they are not always seen or heard."

Society

Quote_1.png
Siri Hustvedt
"But that's why you're upset now. Fiction is not life.''You don't believe that.''I think I do.''You know as well as I do that the line can't be drawn, that we're infected at every moment by fictions of all kinds, that it's inescapable.''Don't be a sophist,' he said. 'There is a world and it's palpable.''I don't mean that,' I said. 'I mean that it's hard really to see it, that it's all hazy with out dreams and fantasies."
