Bone of My Bone Quotes

“There are filth and rottenness in this world; I've been forced to contemplate plenty. But I've found that, if I see something of great beauty and I look at it for a long time until I have a clear picture of it in my mind, then I can call up that picture whenever there's filth and rottenness, and that makes it easier to bear.”
― Johanna van Veen, Bone of My Bone
