Quote from the Hours

" This is my right; it is the right of every human being. I choose not the suffocating anesthetic of the suburbs, but the violent jolt of the Capital, that is my choice. The meanest patient, yes, even the very lowest is allowed some say in the matter of her own prescription. Thereby she defines her humanity. I wish, for your sake, Leonard, I could be happy in this quietness. " - Virginia Woolf

奧爾佛士之窗與男裝少女

《奧爾佛士之窗》，是《凡爾賽玫瑰》作者池田理代子另一部較不為出名的作品。

國小的時候，教室前面凌亂的書櫃找到零星的一兩冊。當時最紅的少女漫畫大多是以單純的校園故事為主，像是《薄荷關係》、《辣妹當家》，翻開這本畫風落伍的漫畫，本來抱持湊合著看的態度，一看卻再也無法停下來。驚艷的程度，大概可以和當時看的另外一部手塚治虫的作品《佛陀》比擬。最近在政大附近的白鹿洞又發現了這部作品，保存完整良好，我大概是他們這幾年來唯一租這套的客人吧。
