Seeking Shelter Quotes

“SURVIVAL IS NOT CLEAN OR elegant; there is no music to it, no pageantry, no accolades; it does not follow straight pathways or hold pauses for rest or reflection; it does not feel fulfilling or noble, strengthening or cleansing, spiritual or redemptive. There is no immediate reward, no effortless landing on the other side. Survival is a scary, humiliating, ugly threshing of the body and the soul.”
― Jeff Hobbs, Seeking Shelter: A Working Mother, Her Children, and a Story of Homelessness in America
