Joan Didion Quotes:
Ocupation: Author
Life: b. December 5, 1934
Birthday: December 5
I know why we try to keep the dead alive: we try to keep them alive in order to keep them with us. I also know that if we are to live ourselves there comes a point at which we must relinquish the dead, let them go, keep them dead.
