If you haven’t
read the short story A Perfect Life by Chitra Divakaruni yet, this may be a spoiler for you.
So,
Here are the dialogues
and quotes I liked from the short story,
“For the first
time in my life I felt free. It was an exhilarating sensation, once I get used
to it. It made me giddy and weightless, like I could float away at any moment.”
“I knew
mother-love was real. Real and primitive and dangerous, lurking somewhere in
the female genes.”
“I was
determined to watch out for it.”
“In … marriages
becoming a wife was only the prelude to that all- important, all-consuming
event- becoming a mother.”
“I just wanted
to make sure that … it would be on my own terms.”
“How could it be any worse?”
“I know my own fastidiousness,
the limits to my patience.”
“I didn’t wanted
to hear what was coming next. I was afraid her words would echo the objections
I’d kept pushing to the back of my own mind.”
“No man was
going to call me stupid and get away with it.”
“I wondered if I
could take that to be a good omen.”
“I think telling
the truth was for the best.”
“How strange the
nature of love is and how strangely it transforms the people.”
“Remembrance
struck like a stone between my eyes.”
“I wouldn’t have
come back either to someone who’d taken me in only to give me up, who had loved
me briefly only to betray me forever.”
“Even then,
crazy as I was with anger and sorrow and guilt, I knew that would have been a
bigger mistake than the ones I’d made already.”
“Her voice
continued to travel through my body, insidious, deadly, like a piece of
shrapnel the surgeon had missed.”
