“A kind of light spread out
from her. And everything
changed color. And the world
opened out. And a day was
good to waken to. And there
were no limits to anything.
And the people of the world
were good and handsome.
And I was not afraid any more.”

“I believe a strong woman may be stronger than a man, particularly if she happens to have love in her heart. I guess a loving woman is indestructible.” ♥

Memory
“She wasn’t happy, but then she wasn’t unhappy. She wasn’t anything. But I don’t believe anyone is a nothing. There has to be something inside, if only to keep the skin from collapsing. This vacant eye, listless hand, this damask cheek dusted like a doughnut with plastic powder, had to have a memory or a dream.”
― John Steinbeck, Travels with Charley: In Search of America
