Firefish Purple Quotes & Sayings

All human life has its seasons and cycles, and no one's personal chaos can be permanent.

We shall not dwell for the present on the effort to delve down to the depths of our being.

And the thing in the closet that makes the babies scream in the dark before it sucks their last breath - that's me. And the rustling in the brush and the strange piping cries that chill the spine on a deserted road at twilight - that's the twins singing practice scales while they look for berries. — Katherine Dunn
