Multiple Lives Quotes

“A woman's life can really be a succession of lives, each revolving around some emotionally compelling situation or challenge, and each marked off by some intense experience.”
― Wallis Duchess of Windsor

“At the start of the infinite expanse where space kisses time, that's where I loved you first Tiffanee Dee.”
― Simon John Carpio

“Had any children? the doctor asks. I say No.
And close my lips—the other half of the answer.
If this were a party, I'd feel I had to go on,
even if the other person hadn't asked
Why not? Or Are you planning on having any?
They feel free to ask. And almost always, I explain
something about wanting them but not enough,
or how I wish I had two lives: in one of them
I'd have a child by now. But it's no good,
not doing something never sounds as real as doing it. I seem to stand in for reserve,
my life a keeping back, a state of being
not in active service.”
― Nancy Eimers, No Moon
