Joyce Johnson Quotes

I Kept Learning About Being A Widow In Little, Distant Flashes. I Saw That After A Long While, If You Had No One To Touch You, You Might Eventually Become Someone Who Went To Beauty Parlors And Paid To Have Strangers Do Your Hair. You'd Pay For The Sensation Of It, The Hands Of Another Human Being Pouring Warmth On You, Gently Smoothing, Stroking. You'd Close Your Eyes And Lean Back Into Those Hands And Your Face Might Have Exactly That Look, I Thought.

Life Just Goes On, You See, Any Old Way It Can. Even The Dead Can't Interrupt The Flow.
