Demond's Famous Quotes & Sayings

I Was Always Leaving"

about to get up and go, I was
on my way, not sure where.

would be raised, and I would be released
into my true life. I would meet there

that something held me back,
a doubt, a debt, a face I could not
leave behind. When the door
fell open, I did not go through. — Jean Nordhaus
