    “Stupid or smart, there wasn’t much choice about what was going to happen to me ... Growing up was like falling into a hole....

It all looked bleak to me. No wonder people got crazy as they grew up.”
    —Dorothy Allison (b. 1953)

    THE ART OF LIFE IS PASSING LOSSES ON.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)
