Joyce Maynard quotes
" A person who deserves my loyalty receives it. "

Joyce Maynard
" Although Salinger had long since cut me out of his life completely and made it plain that he had nothing but contempt for me, the thought of becoming the object of his wrath was more than I felt ready to take on. "

Joyce Maynard
" At Home in the World is the story of a young woman, raised in some difficult circumstances, and how she survives. It tells a story of redemption, not victimhood. "

Joyce Maynard
" For 25 years, I continued to subscribe to the notion that I owed J. D. Salinger my lifelong silence about the role he had played in my life. "

Joyce Maynard
" For 25 years, I did take my responsibilities as a pleaser of others sufficiently seriously. "

Joyce Maynard
" I believe every one of us possesses a fundamental right to tell our own story. "

Joyce Maynard
" I believed my story would be helpful to young women my daughter's age, who are still in the process of forming themselves as women, and in need of encouragement to remain true to themselves. "

Joyce Maynard
" I compromised my ability to tell my story, at the most basic level. "

Joyce Maynard
" I continued to protect him with my silence. "

Joyce Maynard
" I could write this story as I did because I know there was no bitterness or vengefulness or score-settling in my heart, as I told it. "

Joyce Maynard
" I did not set out to write a book about J.D. Salinger. I wanted to write an honest book about my experiences and my growth from young womanhood to adulthood. "

Joyce Maynard
" I do not feel I possess license to tell about every aspect in my life, and I don't. "

Joyce Maynard
" I felt shame and failure, for all the compromises I'd made in my life. I could feel his silent disapproval of me. It was an oppressive thing. "

Joyce Maynard
" I have long observed that the act of writing is viewed, by some, as an elite and otherworldly act, all the more so if a person isn't paid for what she writes. "

Joyce Maynard
" I have not chosen to live a particularly private life myself, I respect the decision of any man or woman who chooses to live such a life. "
