Life or death Quote by Kathleen Winter

“She waited the eternal instant that women wait when a horror jumps out at them. It is an instant that men do not use for waiting, an instant that opens a door to life or death. Women look through the opening because something might be alive in there.” quote by Kathleen Winter — Download Open image
