A Complete Woman Is Probably Not A

You Are Wrong If You Think You Cannot Live Without Love. I Cannot Live Without It. I Do Not Mean That I Go Into A Decline, Develop Odd Symptoms, Became A Caricature. I Mean That I Cannot Live Well Without It. I Cannot Think Or Act Or Speak Or Write Or Even Dream With Any Kind Of Energy In The Absence Of Love. I Feel Excluded From The Living World. I Become Cold, Fish-like, Immobile. I Implode.

I Was Brought Up Among The Sort Of Self-important Women Who Had A Husband As One Has An Alibi.

Fiction Is The Great Repository Of The Moral Sense. The Wicked Get Punished.

Good Women Always Think It Is Their Fault When Someone Else Is Being Offensive. Bad Women Never Take The Blame For Anything.

Death Is Only A Small Interruption.
