“Whatever else may perish and disappear, what lies here is steadfast. Here one might say to those sliding lights, those fumbling airs that breathe and bend over the bed itself, here you can neither touch nor destroy. Upon which, wearily, ghostly, as if they had feather-light fingers and the light persistency of feathers, they would look, once, on the shut eyes, and the loosely clasping fingers, and fold their garments wearily and disappear.”
― Nora Lange, Us Fools

“I consumed America as much as America consumed me. I would be taking every substance with me to the grave, where no doubt I would continue to be a poison. But I would be educated by America's leading institutions.”
