Elliot Perlman Quotes
Everyone Was Always Hungry. The Poorer You Were, The Hungrier You Were, And With The Hunger Came Weakness And Irritability. It Became Difficult To Think Clearly And You Needed To Think Clearly To Work Out How To Survive The Next Day, How To Get Food. You Were Sure You Could Still Work If You Could Find Work, And You Could Look For It If Only You Could Eat. But How Were You Going To Get Food, For Yourself, For Your Children, For Your Wife Or Husband, For Your Parents? There Were Simply Too Many People Within Those Walls For The Calories That Were Let In. How Were You To Get Food When There Just Wasn't Enough Of It? What Were You Going To Have To Do? With Hunger Of This Severity Came Fatigue, A Weakness That Transcended Tiredness And Permeated Your Sinews And Bones. As Your Limbs Got Ever Lighter, They Felt Progressively Heavier With Each New Day.
