“These fragments are all that remain of my early childhood. There are no words, just sounds: my mother's breathy humming in my ear, her voice the most familiar thing to me, more known than my own hand. My hand still surprises me at all times; the lines and creases, the way the webbing between my fingers glows red if I hold up my hand to block the sun. My mother's voice is my home and when I am surrounded by her sounds, I sleep.”
― Augusten Burroughs, A Wolf at the Table
