Quotes by Ruth Franklin (?)

“If one is bewildered and unhappy, why not show it, and why will not people explain and comfort? But instead鈥攖his pretense at calm satisfaction, where underneath there is all the seething restless desire to be off, away from all this anger at self and others, to where there are other conventions, other thoughts, other passions.”
― Ruth Franklin, Shirley Jackson: A Rather Haunted Life

“The very nicest thing about being a writer is that you can afford to indulge yourself endlessly with oddness, and nobody can really do anything about it, so long as you keep writing and kind of using it up, as it were. All you have to do鈥攁nd watch this carefully, please鈥攊s keep writing. So long as you write it away regularly nothing can really hurt you.”
― Ruth Franklin, Shirley Jackson: A Rather Haunted Life
