Mrs. Pollifax and the Whirling Dervish Quotes

“But if the Volvo panted and groaned it didn’t falter. It had acquired a personality of its own, she decided, and like the people of the mountains it had adjusted to malnutrition and impoverishment and had grown stubborn and stoic.”
― Dorothy Gilman, Mrs. Pollifax and the Whirling Dervish

“But she knew that she had encountered one of the more devastating kinds of loneliness in existence: that of being in close contact with someone to whom she was a nonperson, and who thereby rendered her invisible and of no consequence.”
― Dorothy Gilman, Mrs. Pollifax and the Whirling Dervish
