Frances Farmer quote: "But I was sure of one thing. If God were a father, with..."
But I was sure of one thing. If God were a father, with children, that cleanliness I had been feeling wasn't God. Frances Farmer
It puzzled me that other people hadn't found out, too. God was gone. We were younger. We had reached past him. Why couldn't they see it? It still puzzles me. Frances Farmer
Frances Farmer quote: "There comes a point when a dream becomes reality and reality..."
There comes a point when a dream becomes reality and reality becomes a dream. Frances Farmer
Frances Farmer quote: "I just knew that God wasn't there. He was a man on a throne in..."
