Selling Manhattan Quotes

“Better off dead than giving in; not taking what you want.”
― Carol Ann Duffy, Selling Manhattan

“Then you are writing home. The voice in your head
Recites the letter in a local dialect; behind that
Is the sound of your mother singing to you,
All that time ago, and now you do not know
Why your eyes are watering and what’s the word for this.”
― Carol Ann Duffy, Selling Manhattan
