Jenny Fields felt undone, the way only a person who has been careful can feel when confronted by a mistake. - John Irving

"so my grandmother was not without humanity. and if she wore cocktail dresses when she labored in the garden, they were cocktail dresses she no longer intended to wear to cocktail parties. even in her rose garden she did not want to appear underdressed. if the dresses got too dirty from gardening, she threw them out. when my mother suggested to her that she might have them cleaned, my grandmother said, "what? and have those people at the cleaners what i was doing in a dress to make it that dirty?"

from my grandmother i learned that logic is relative."

It doesn't really matter who said it - it's so obviously true. Bevore you can write anything, you have to notice something.

Everybody dies … The thing is, to have a life before we die.
