Resting my head on the high-backed chair, I silently marvel at emotion so strong itcan quite literally chase away all reason and good sense. It is something I have neverexperienced. I pity Frances for being victim to such devastating passions. But, if I amhonest, a small part of me envies her, for she possesses something that I should: desirefor my husband. Moreover, she knows what it is to feel alive. Ayana Prende
About This Quote

While this may not be factual from the statement, it is a very deep piece of philosophy. In this quote, Elinor shows all of the hopelessness of her situation, but also shows that she is beyond trying to come to terms with it, she wants to feel more alive. She wants to feel the passion of desire again. It is a very strong feeling that can be a great motivator, but can also lead one down a path that they don’t want to go down.
