"Why can't I write something that would awake the dead?" (279)
"I had relieved the boy of responsibility... It is impossibke to exaggerate the sudden calm I felt. An overwhleming sense of mission eclipsed my fears" (18)
The only weakness is in the myriad of unexplained allusions to people in the scene, at some point, there are too many people whose eclectic influence on her life and not enough page. You have to accept the unknowing.
I am reminded of me and Jack. Of a love so deep I am not afraid of losing it. And when the love was young and ripe, I see me and Wes.
"I was there for these moments, but was so young and preoccupied with my own thoughts that I hardly recognized them as moments" (159).
"It seemed being an actor was like being a soldier: you had to sacrifice yourself to the greater good. You had to believe in the cause. I just couldn't surrender myself enough to be an actor" (165).

illicitrature's review against another edition
2.75
i saw someone said that in order for someone to read a memoir, there are two things to consider, i forgot the other thing they mentioned, but the other one truly describes why i pick this up: for curiosity, to catch something that piques my interest. though i would like to say that this is somehow a hit or miss…
this is written in a form where it is very easy to read: it is direct to the point— as well as it isn’t. somehow, it felt like a chore reading this because there were lots of names mentioned, and there were a lot of things that felt repetitive.
(would expound my thoughts regarding this book on my booksta review)
