“Admittedly, we were all caught up in the same drama that was so powerful, so all-embracing that I was unaware of anything that wasn't related to it, but I had come to think I was different. And now, racked with sobs, I was forced to acknowledge too late, much too late, that I had loved, that I was capable of suffering and that I was human after all.”
― Jacqueline Harpman, I Who Have Never Known Men
