Barbara Kingsolver Quote
The seat of human emotion should be the liver, Doc Homer said. That would be an appropriate metaphor: we don't hold love in our hearts, we hold it in our livers.I understood exactly. Once in ER I saw a woman who'd been stabbed everywhere, most severely in the liver. It's an organ with the consistency of layer upon layer of wet Kleenex. Every attempt at repair just opens new holes that tear and bleed. You try to close the wound with fresh wounds, and you try and you try and you don't give up until there's nothing left.
