Jean Valentine - The Knife
"My New Year\u2019s Eve Toast: to all the devils, lusts, passions, greeds, envies, loves, hates, strange desires, enemies ghostly and real, the army of memories, with which I do battle - may they never give me peace." -Patricia Highsmith, age 26, at 2:30am New Year\u2019s Eve 1947 in her journal.
