Betty Smith Quote
Her time has come, answered Miss Lizzie. That's why I didn't marry Harvey - long ago when he asked me. I was afraid of 'that'. So afraid. I don't know, Miss Lizzie said. Sometimes I think it's better to suffer bitter unhappiness and to fight and to scream out, and even to suffer that terrible pain, than just to be safe. She waited until the next scream died away. At least she knows she's living.
