Quotes by Karen Winn  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“That was the thing with us, always the thing. We were sisters. Our fights were Cold War epic. When she hugged me—and meant it—it felt like an invitation to a secret society. When she judged me, it was a Supreme Court ruling. We were hot and cold, and both at once. Sin and virtue, and virtue and sin. An entire world war occurred within our small, confined existences. Sisters were we.”
Karen Winn, Our Little World

“You live in your house—the house that memories built—surrounded by and defined by your bricks. Some might say trapped within them, even.”
Karen Winn, Our Little World

“Moments in childhood were often like that: too saturated to fully enjoy in real time, their pleasures spiking higher in subsequent recollections, once we had the space to consider them.”
Karen Winn, Our Little World
