Quotes by Missouri Williams (?)

“looking into her bruised face the schoolmaster thought that the history of the world was the history of cruelty, that it had never been anything else: they limped along the great curve of extinction, one foot in the void, dwindling each year and it was cruelty that made them cling on, pain and the paining of others that kept them moving”
― Missouri Williams, The Doloriad

― Missouri Williams, The Doloriad
