“One catastophe at a time..." Me”
“To such men the desperate and horrible thought has come that perhaps the whole of human life is but a bad joke, a violent and ill-fated abortion of the primal mother, a savage and dismal catastophe of nature.”
“And then, inside me, the axis of time gave one great heave.”
“Many times, when I was having a hard time with one of my children, God would always remind me that He was having a harder time with me than I was with them”
“To comfort me is like the wrong memory at the wrong place or time: if one is lonely one prefers discomfort.”
“Smile that gorgeous smile for me one more time before I know that it will never be completely for me.”
