Quotes by Terry Galloway (?)

“And while I may have trouble believing in the meaningfulness of my own life, I have a little less trouble believing in the meaningfulness of theirs. In every sentence, every word of stories told I feel the presence of something still unspoken or as yet unheard, and I feel it as an emptiness akin to hope.”
― Terry Galloway, Mean Little Deaf Queer: A Memoir

“I mulled over my ill-got knowledge--how drama trumps the day-to-day, how easily pity can be milked and love manipulated, how the false, when perfectly enacted, can be even more poignant than the true.”
― Terry Galloway, Mean Little Deaf Queer: A Memoir
