The Price of Salt, or Carol Chapter 18 Quotes
How we cite the quotes:
(Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote 1
How was it possible to be afraid and in love, Therese thought. The two things did not go together. (18.7)
This is a good point, and one reason why Therese is in love with Carol but believes Richard doesn't love her. Therese feels safe with Carol, whereas with Richard she feels afraid and insecure.
Quote 2
"Darling, did you ever think you'll be seventy-one, too, some day?"
"No," Therese said. (18.37-18.38)
As a youngster, Therese is also shortsighted. She still sees older people as an "other," not as a person that she may one day be.
