Helen Oyeyemi Quotes

That Woman - The Me That Had Married Charlie - Had Tried And Failed To Find A Gap In All Of This That Was So Ordinary, To Take Some Instrument To The Gap And Shape It, Widen It Until It Got Big Enough To Slip Through. She'd Wanted To Make A Beautiful Thing, Like The Flax Hill Natives Did. But Not A Lantern Or A Bookcase, A Life. Not To Have What It Takes, And To Be Surrounded By Witnesses Too. The Man You Tried With. The Children. A Boy Version Of You, Or A Girl Version Of Him, Or Both, Looking At You With Clear, Pitiless Eyes.
