Grief and loss Quote by Jeanette Winterson

Download Open image
““im always thinking of going back. when lots wife looke dover her shoulder, she turned into a pillar of salt. pillars hold things up, and salt keeps things clean, but its a poor exchange for losing your self. people do go back, but they dont survive, because two realities are claiming them at the same time. such things are too much. you can salt your heart, or kill your heart, or you can choose between the two realities. there is much pain here. some people thing you can have your cake and eat it. the cake goes mouldy and they choke on whats left.””
