“Women trailed around vendors, baskets on their arms, bartering for a low price, despite the fact their purses carried plenty of coin. I envied their warm coats and the ruffles on their long dresses. They were never cold, never dressed in threadbare clothes, and never went hungry. They also never worried about what would happen to them if they had an episode and passed out in a gutter. It was no use dwelling on what I didn’t have.”

“We walked in wisdom with our shadows, in search of the dead part of ourselves, which would be our shelter.”
