QUOTE : It was funny to discover this about herself only now: it was possible to have such deep, immovable desires without ever even knowing it; apparently there were desires that could live at the core of a person for years and years. It was funny, how little she could know of herself, how much there was still to witness, to be stumped by. It was funny, in that way of things being funny right before they dug deep, wrenched, and tore.
