"Oh, Teddy, darling, thank you, thank you, for restoring my cynicism. I was too young to lose it."

Previous Quote

It was all wrong, ugly, unhappy and coloured with cynicism, but nothing was tragic, there were no moments that could change anything or anybody. From time to time the emotional lightning flashed and showed a landscape of private misery, and then — we went on dancing.

— Doris Lessing
