Quotes by Kathryn Tucker Windham (?)

“Life is like a journey on a train With passengers sitting at each window pane. We may sit far apart the whole journey through. You may never know me, I may never know you. But if, by chance, we sit side by side Let’s be pleasant companions—’tis so short a ride. Then there are Jan Struther’s words from her poem “Eulogy”: She was twice blessed: She was happy; She knew it. I want those sentences on my tombstone.”
― Kathryn Tucker Windham, She: The Old Woman Who Took Over My Life
