Joyce Carol Oates Quote

There are people, primarily women!--who are what I call 'conduits of emotion.' In their company, the half dead can come alive. They need not be beautiful women or girls. It's a matter of blood warmth. The integrity of the spirit. He turned the page of his sketch pad and began anew, whistling thinly through his teeth.Thus an icy-cold soul, in the presence of one so blessed, can regain something of his lost self. Sometimes!
