Quote #10
Saved from the ravages of war by stubbornness and ignorance and an insatiable hunger for love. (2.6.8)
At first glance, it might seem illogical that Daisy's claiming that her love (ahem, lust) is what gets her through the war, given that she pretty much doesn't see Edmond once the Occupation begins. However, loving or lusting after Edmond gives her something to live for beyond the immediate future for probably the first time in her life. Instead of quietly doing what she's told, it prompts Daisy to take action, to find her way back across the countryside, and to survive even when the going gets incredibly tough.
