Little Rooms Quotes

“Not until we are ready to own our actions, mistakes and flaws can we claim our successes and virtues, and not until then are we grown.

― G. Lawrence, Little Rooms

“Grief had opened holes in me, wounds that would never heal. My father had rent his leg once, and that wound festered for the rest of his life, giving him no peace from pain. No wound showed on my body, yet I carried the same festering pain inside me. People had torn holes in my soul as they were torn from life, and those wounds gaped in me, baggy, bloody mouths speaking of agony that could barely be expressed”
