added a quote:
"Tighten your fingers around a teaspoon, feel its metal pulse, its mistrustful warning. How it hurts to refuse a spoon, to say no to a door, to deny everything habit has licked to a suitable smoothness. How much simpler to accept the easy request of the spoon, to use it, to stir the coffee." — Julio Cortázar | |
