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.
