“Everybody wants life to speak to them with special kindness. Every personal story begs to be steered toward reverie, toward some relief from unpleasant truths: That you are a self, that beyond anything else you want the best for that self. That, if it is to be you or someone else, you need it to be you, no matter what.” IfsWantNeedsSelfMatterStoriesSpeakKindnessSpecialNo Matter WhatReliefBe YouReveriePersonal Stories Book:Half a Life: A Memoir Source: Half a Life: A Memoir
