Lydia Millet Quotes

People Were Like Dogs And This Was Why They Took Pity On Them
dogs Alone All The Hours Of Their Days And Always Waiting. Always Waiting For Company. Dogs Who, For All Of Their Devotion, Knew Only The Love Of One Or Two Or Three People From The Beginning Of Their Lives Till The End
dogs Who, Once Those One Or Two Had Dwindled And Vanished From The Rooms They Lived In, Were Never To Be Known Again.
You Passed Like A Dog Through Those Empty Houses, You Passed Through Empty Rooms ... There Was Always The Possibility Of Companionship But Rarely The Real Event. For Most Of The Hours Of Your Life No One Knew Or Observed You At All. You Did What You Thought You Had To; You Went On Eating, Sleeping, Raising Your Voice At Intruders Out Of A Sense Of Duty. But All The While You Were Hoping, Faithfully But With No Evidence, That It Turned Out, In The End, You Were A Prince Among Men.
