Catherynne M Valente Quotes

She Is Sad. She Does Not Speak Japanese. Her Husband Went To The Desert Months And Months Ago. Every Day She Goes To The Market And Brings Back Chocolate, A Peach, And A Salmon Rice-ball For Her Dinner. She Sits And Eats And Stares At The Wall. Sometimes She Watches Television. Sometimes She Walks Three Miles To Blue Street To Look At Necklaces In The Window That She Wishes Someone Would Buy For Her. Sometimes She Walks Along The Pier To See The Sunken Bicycles, Pinged Into Ruin By Invisible Arrows Of Battleship-sonar, Crusted Over With Rust And Coral. She Likes To Pet People's Dogs As They Walk Them. That Is Her Whole Life. What Should She Dream Of?"
"Something Better.
