I just finished The Passion. I can not believe I haven't read this book before! The writing is extraordinary, the plot is enchanting, the characters are so rounded and rich. I believe the historical details are accurate, from what I can remember of ninth grade history.
Why have I never heard of this author until now? Have any of you heard of her?
I can’t remember the last time I read such an apt description of love!!
I say I’m in love with her. What does that mean?
It means I review my future and my past in the light of this feeling. It is as though I wrote in a foreign language that I am suddenly able to read. Wordlessly, she explains me to myself. Like genius, she is ignorant of what she does (122).
Whatever she touches, she reveals.
I was angry. Whoever it is you fall in love with for the first time, not just love but be in love with, is the one who will always make you angry, the one you can’t be logical about. It may be that you are settled in another place, it may be that you are happy, but the one who took your heart wields final power (145).
My passion is for her, even though she could never return it, showed me the difference between inventing a lover and falling in love.
The one is about you, the other about someone else (158).
