“I was forced to acknowledge too late, much too late, that I too had loved, that I was capable of suffering and that I was human after all. I felt as if this pain would never be appeased, that it had me in its grip for ever, that it would prevent me from devoting myself to anything else, and that I was allowing it to do so. I think that that is what they call being consumed with remorse.”
― Jacqueline Harpman, I Who Have Never Known Men
