Quiet Quotes
-
But when I am around strangers, I turn into a conversational Mount St. Helens.

Once I erupt, they'll be wiping my verbal ashes off their windshields as far away as North Dakota.

That country where it is always turning late in the year. That country where the hills are fog and the rivers are mist; where noons go quickly, dusks and twilights linger, and midnights stay. That country composed in the main of cellars, sub-cellars, coal-bins, closets, attics, and pantries faced away from the sun. That country whose people are autumn people, thinking only autumn thoughts. Whose people passing at night on the empty walks sound like rain.

Struggling became a way of life for me.
