This online project, from 2008, followed a number of women as they read The Golden Notebook at the same time, interacting with the text and writing notes to themselves and each other as they went along. It also allows you to read the text online with their marginalia.
Nothing she thought pleased her; for some days she had been observing ideas and images pass through her mind, unconnected with any emotion, and did not recognize them as her own.
The Golden Notebook, Doris Lessing
The essence of neurosis is conflict. But the essence of living now, fully, not blocking off to what goes on, is conflict. In fact I’ve reached the stage where I look at people and say—he or she, they are whole at all because they’ve chosen to block off at this stage or that. People stay sane by blocking off, by limiting themselves.
The Golden Notebook, Doris Lessing
Ella's father: You talk as if—a person is a person. A man is what he is. He can’t be anything else. You can’t change that.
Ella: Well, then, I think that’s the real difference between us. Because I believe you can change it.
Ella's father: Then I don’t follow you. And I don’t want to. Bad enough to cope with what one is, instead of complicating things even more.
If someone cracks up, what does that mean? At what point does a person about to fall to pieces say: I’m cracking up? And if I were to crack up, what form would it take?
The Golden Notebook, Doris Lessing
Literature is analysis after the event.
The Golden Notebook, Doris Lessing (1962)
The child is taught that he is free, a democrat, with a free will and a free mind, lives in a free country, makes his own decisions. At the same time he is a prisoner of the assumptions and dogmas of his time, which he does not question, because he has never been told they exist.
Introduction, The Golden Notebook, Doris Lessing (1971)
