Michael Cunningham Quotes

There Are Two Of You Now. Neither Is Sufficient Unto Itself, But You Learn, Over Time, To Join Your Two Halves Together, And Hobble Around. There Are Limits To What You Can Do, Though You're Able To Get From Place To Place. Each Half, Naturally Enough, Requires The Cooperation Of The Other, And You Find Yourself Getting Snappish With Yourself; You Find Yourself Cursing Yourself For Your Clumsiness, Your Overeagerness, Your Lack Of Consideration For Your Other Half. You Feel It Doubly. Still, You Go On. Still, You Step In Tandem, Make Your Slow And Careful Way Up And Down The Stairs, Admonishing, Warning, Each Of You Urging The Other To Slow Down, Or Speed Up, Or Wait A Second. What Else Can You Do? Each Would Be Helpless Without The Other. Each Would Be Stranded, Laid Flat, Abandoned, Bereft.
