Jeffrey Eugenides Quotes About Feelings

Me gustaría tener a mi disposición complicadas emociones híbridas, construcciones germánicas de vagón de tren como, por ejemplo: "la felicidad que acompaña al desastre". O: "la decepción de acostarse con la fantasía de uno". ... Me gustaría tener una palabra para "la tristeza que inspiran los restaurantes que fracasan", así como para "la emoción de conseguir una habitación con minibar". Nunca he tenido las palabras adecuadas para describir mi vida.
