Dorothy Allison Quotes

For years and years, I convinced myself that I was unbreakable, an animal with an animal strength or something not human at all. Me, I told people, I take damage like a wall, a brick wall that never falls down, never feels anything, never flinches or remembers. I am one woman but I carry in my body all the stories I have ever been told, women I have known, women who have taken damage until they tell themselves they can feel no pain at all.

The pain comes from knowing we have never been safe, and therefore will never be safe again. It comes from knowing we can never be children again. John Jakes
