I am done with great things and big things, great institutions and big success. I am for those tiny, invisible, molecular, moral forces that work from individual to individual, creeping through the crannies of the world like so many rootlets, or like the capillary oozing of water, which, if given time, will rend the hardest monuments of pride.
She said there were two people you had to be true to—those people who came before you and those people who came after you.
Gayl Jones, Eva’s Man
