Violette Leduc Quotes

It Is Not Only Streams And Rivers That Flow: A Street, With A Door Set Back From It, Can Slide Over Into The Depth Of An Abyss. The Street Was Her Youth, Was All The Minutes, The Seconds Of Her Existence. The Grass Sprouting Between The Cobbles, The Pinpricks, The Needles While Her Stomach Cried Its Hunger. The Closed Door, The Step She Sat On - Quietly, For There Was Nothing She Desired. A Door Set Back From The Street Was Enough For Her. To Grow Old Is To Wrap Ourselves Up Well So We Can Wander Warmly Through Our Private Catacombs.
