Jeffrey Eugenides Quote

Dr. Armonson stitched up her wrist wounds. Within five minutes of the transfusion he declared her out of danger. Chucking her under the chin, he said, What are you doing here, honey? You're not even old enough to know how bad life gets.And it was then Cecilia gave orally what was to be her only form of suicide note, and a useless one at that, because she was going to live: Obviously, Doctor, she said, you've never been a thirteen-year-old girl.
