Neil Gaiman Quotes
Here: An Exercise In Choice. Your Choice. One Of These Tales Is True.
She Lived Through The War. In 1959 She Came To America. She Now Lives In A Condo In Miami, A Tiny French Woman With White Hair, With A Daughter And A Grand-daughter. She Keeps Herself To Herself And Smiles Rarely, As If The Weight Of Memory Keeps Her From Finding Joy.
Or That's A Lie. Actually The Gestapo Picked Her Up During A Border Crossing In 1943, And They Left Her In A Meadow. First She Dug Her Own Grave, Then A Single Bullet To The Back Of The Skull.
Her Last Thought, Before That Bullet, Was That She Was Four Months' Pregnant, And That If We Do Not Fight To Create A Future There Will Be No Future For Any Of Us.
There Is An Old Woman In Miami Who Wakes, Confused, From A Dream Of The Wind Blowing The Wildflowers In A Meadow.
There Are Bones Untouched Beneath The Warm French Earth Which Dream Of A Daughter's Wedding. Good Wine Is Drunk. The Only Tears Shed Are Happy Ones.
