| Anna Quindlen
A finished person is a boring person. Being a reporter is as much a diagnosis as a job description.For weeks or months they moved through their
separate lives and slept side by side as though
they were two strangers who had mistakenly been
assigned the same hotel room.
And then something would happen and he would find
himself staring at her as though he could see the
soul of her, looking for an end to his troubles
inside the loop of her arms, and he would be snagged
with the fishhook of herself, with the barbed hook
of his powerless infatuation with something that she
seemed to have, some answer that she seemed to offer.
I would be most content if my children grew up to be the kind of people who think decorating consists mostly of building enough bookshelves.The first time my husband hit me I was nineteen years old.The life you have led doesn't need to be the only life you have.

passport.
The world is full of women blindsided by the unceasing demands of motherhood, still flabbergasted by how a job can be terrific and torturous. To remember is to understand. A good judge remembers what it was like

remembers what it was like to be a child.
