Hunger steals the memory

What happens when you let an unsatisfactory present go on long enough? It becomes your entire history.

To love another another human in all of her splendor and imperfect perfection , it is a magnificent task...tremendous and foolish and human.

Hunger steals the memory

I work really out of mythology, so often I work out of a story that has remained lodged inside somehow, or I work out of history, you know, out of a sense of historical inevitability with characters.

You never know where you're going to find the same thoughts in another brain, but when it happens you know it right off, just like you were connected by a small electrical wire that suddenly glows red hot and sparks.

A woman's body is the gate to this life. A man's body is the gate to the next life.
