The Woman Lit By Fireflies Quotes

“Goddamn but her mind was so exhausted with trying to hold the world together, tired of being the living glue for herself, as if she let go, great pieces of her life would shatter and fall off in mockery of the apocalypse.”

― Jim Harrison, The Woman Lit By Fireflies
