Donna Leon Quotes

She Thanked Me And Said She Was Proud Of Me. But Then She Said That She Said She Hoped I'd Seen How Hard A Person Had To Work When All The Person Had To Work With Was Their Body ... At First I Didn't Understand, But Then I Did. I'd Worked All Day. Well, It Seemed Like It Had Been All Day To Me, Though I Suppose It Was Only A Few Hours. And All I Had For It Was Enough For Her To Buy Some Pasta, Rice And Maybe A Piece Of Cheese. So I Understood What She Meant. If You Work With Only Your Body, All You'll Do Is Work For Enough To Eat. Even Then I Knew I Didn't Want To Spend My Life Like That.
