Melanie Benjamin Quotes

It is the letter not sent that is often the most valuable Picture Quote #1
But oh my dear, I am tired of being Alice in Wonderland. Does it sound ungrateful? It is. Only I do get tired Picture Quote #1
Dana taught me that the ability to grieve deeply also meant that a person had the capacity to love deeply, laugh deeply, live deeply -- and that this was a capacity to be cherished Picture Quote #1
Why, then, did I always feel as if his happiness was my responsibility? It wasn’t fair for him to burden me with that. It had never been fair Picture Quote #1

There is always so much talk about the sins of the fathers but it is the sins of the mothers that are the most difficult to avoid repeating Picture Quote #1
Why, then, did I always feel as if his happiness was my responsibility? It wasn’t fair for him to burden me with that. It had never been fair Picture Quote #1
My head grew muddled with it all; the silly ways adults acted with one another, never saying what they meant, trusting in sighs and glances and distance to speak for them instead. How dangerous that was! How easy it must be to misinterpret a sigh or a look Picture Quote #1
Why were there so many barriers between us, always? Barriers of clothing, of etiquette, of time and age and reason Picture Quote #1
I had wanted to live forever as a gypsy girl; I had wanted to live forever as a child, tumbling down a rabbit hole. I had been granted both wishes, only to find immortality was not what it had promised to be; instead of a passport to the future, it was a yoke that bound me to the past Picture Quote #1
Wonderland was all we had in common, after all; Wonderland was what was denied the two of us. I had denied him his; he had denied me mine Picture Quote #1

I see things beyond what other people see. I am always looking for hidden corners and closets of a life that I feel aren’t explored either by the person who lived it or the people writing about it Picture Quote #1
Most readers of historical fiction are content to just get caught up in a good story, and that is what I want to do as an author. I am not concerned with people knowing exactly what I made up and what is real Picture Quote #1
