Stewart O'Nan
“It was stifling inside and the ward smelled of scrambled eggs and urine. She didn't like to think the facility was a pit, as Emily put it, but each time she walked the gauntlet of the main hall, it was littered with trash and the call lights were blinking madly above the patients' doors, their wails beseeching the staff for help. Here, among the senile and dying, she felt obscenely young and healthy, near superhuman. Why was she repulsed? This was what awaited all of them, the body and mind's inevitable breakdown, just another stage of life, yet, undeniably, she was, and this failure--her cowardice in the face of others' suffering--angered her.”
Stewart O'Nan, Evensong

“Don’t be stingy with your praise and support of other women. What goes around comes around. It’s great karma.”
