Quotes by Jessica Anderson (?)

“I walked and walked, sometimes with an objective- a friend's house, a shop, the church or school- but mostly at random, to outrun oppression.”
― Jessica Anderson, Tirra Lirra by the River

“Liza used to say that she saw her past life as a string of roughly-graded beads, and so did Hilda....But for some years now I have likened mine to a globe suspended in my head, and ever since the shocking realization that waste is irretrievable, I have been careful not to let this globe spin to expose the nether side on which my marriage has left its multitude of images.”
― Jessica Anderson, Tirra Lirra By the River

“Exaltation? Well, bliss. An obscure sensation, it touched me lightly, the ghost, perhaps, of some former bliss. There is certainly nothing in this room to account for it, so it must have been something outside it, but visible from it.”
― Jessica Anderson, Tirra Lirra by the River

tags: bliss, depression
