Quotes by Dorothy Rice  (?)

“The events of that day have acquired the permanence of an old movie, the past captured and frozen. What the two of us wore, and said, all of it, stamped on my brain, frame after frame. But it was a long time ago. The version I’ve held on to all these years may be as fictional as any film. Or it may have happened just like this.”
Dorothy Rice, Gray Is the New Black

“An otherwise awful day can be borne with equanimity, if my hair looks good.”
Dorothy Rice, Gray Is the New Black

“Perhaps if he caressed my tummy rolls. Kissed the scars. Stroked the staple marks. Maybe then I could be content with who I’ve become. Maybe. I snorted. Likely I’d push him away. I had long suspected he loves me “anyway.”
