“The emotions of others affect us unpredictably. Sometimes they resonate like a struck bell. Just as often they clank and mean nothing at all. Bill's story /was/ sad, yet, today, it couldn't reach me.” Emotions Book:Daphne: A Novel Source: Daphne: A Novel
“Some people enjoyed these wild swings. They crested and troughed, thrilled and wallowed, and came out strangely purified. I probably would have to fire Staci for her sensitivity, her excess.

Maybe.” Emotions Book:Daphne: A Novel Source: Daphne: A Novel
