Quotes by Connie Lapallo (?)

“... I considered those who had come before me. They are like a river, I thought, and the river is me. Like drops of water, their blood was mine. A verse formed in my head: All their eyes are upon me. They are me.”

“You have to laugh, Joan. If you don't find things to laugh about, you'll find nothing to make you happy. It's cold and all but hopeless, sure. No one can deny that. But one day, the sun will shine again, and the hunger and pain will be over as it was before. We don't know how we'll get through, but we will somehow.”
