Richard Yates Quotes
There She Was, Lying On A Single Bed In A Room So Small That There Wasn't Even Space For A Chair, And The First Thing That Struck Him Was That She Was Beautiful. She Had Lost Too Much Weight - Her Long Legs Were Too Thin In Greasy Jeans And Her Upper Body Looked As Frail As A Bird's Under A Greasy Workman's Shirt - But Her Pale And Famished Face, With Its Great Blue Eyes And Delicate, Thin-lipped Mouth, Made Her Look Like The Heartbreaking Debutante Her Mother Might Always Have Wanted Her To Be.
