“It is true that sometimes you want to take the food off other people’s plates. Let that sink in and then remember it’s okay. To know you’re part craven smuggler. Part thief. Maybe if you know your animal. I mean really know your animal. You won’t become a builder of factories or slave ships. Maybe instead of building a ship somewhere in your body you just let yourself feel the pain and humiliation. No need to make it beautiful for some future reader. Just say how much you wanted to hurt someone like you got hurt. And then just watch that for a while. It’s okay to feel horribly ashamed. Best not to look away.”

“Surely, there must be people like her everywhere. People who get up in the morning, wipe their children's noses, walk down the street, show up at work, or go to school while calling on every ounce of careful grooming and good manners to make it look like it's no trouble at all. Surely, she is not the only person holding in a world of hurt that pushes against their skin like water against the walls of a dam.”
