morrigirlThis week I've been reading "Autobiogrphy of a Face" by Lucy Grealy. And last night, low and behold, look what I found on page 208...
"Bent on proving I was desirable, I started collecting lovers, having a series of short-term relationships that always ended, I was certain, because I wasn't beautiful enough. I became convinced that anyone who wanted to have a real relationship with me was automatically someone I didn't want. It was the classic Groucho Marx paradox: I didn't want to belong to any club that would have me as a member."
What was I saying on Sunday? (Albeit, no half as poetically.)
