Koren Zailckas Quotes (25 quotes)
„In my early to mid-20s, a fear of confrontation made it difficult for me to end relationships in a mature or even quasi-sane way.

„My parents always swore that in my childhood they had to let me win at board games. If, by the lucky stroke of the plastic wheel, my father would accidentally beat me at Candy Land, I would fly into fits of bawling that I'm told would last for hours. If I couldn't triumph, I didn't want to play.“
