Quotation

"I decided instead to find an innocuous lunch and the courage to face again my childhood home and the memories of broken bones that lay like stained carpet on the formal staircase." "Sex and tears, like sun and rain, were never meant to share a moment, but for a fallen soul, an act of wrong could, at times, feel very right, and that scared the hell out of me." "But memory can be like a floodgate, once opened hard to close, and as I drove, images and feelings marched upon me like waves." "Our truest self is often the person we allow no one else to see - who we are when we are alone."
