And in some houses people were getting old and sick and were dying, leaving others to grieve. It was... Jeffrey Eugenides
Adrienne Rich quote: "I've had to guess at her, sewing her skin together as I sew..."
I've had to guess at her, sewing her skin together as I sew mine, though with a different stitch Adrienne Rich
[A]nother important difference between tourist and traveler is that the former accepts his own civilization without question; not so the traveler, who compares it with the others, and rejects those elements he finds not to his liking. Paul Bowles
With her foot on the threshold she waited a moment longer in a scene which was vanishing even as she looked, and then, as she moved and took Minta's arm and left the room, it changed, it shaped itself differently; it had become, she knew, giving one last look at it over her shoulder, already the past. Virginia Woolf
Will Rogers quote: "Everyone is ignorant, only on different subjects."
Everyone is ignorant, only on different subjects. Will Rogers
How would you know if you were the last man on Earth? He said. I don't guess you would know it. You'd just be it. Nobody would know it. It wouldn't make any difference. When you die it's the same as if everybody else died too. Cormac McCarthy
