Dorothy Allison Quotes

When My Mama Was Twenty-five She Already Had An Old Woman's Hands, And I Feared Them. I Did Not Know Then What It Was That Scared Me So. I've Come To Understand Since That It Was The Thought Of Her Growing Old, Of Her Dying And Leaving Me Alone. I Feared Those Brown Spots, Those Wrinkles And Cracks That Lined Her Wrists, Ankles, And The Soft Shadowed Sides Of Her Eyes.
