( The Survey )

I've lived through such terrible times, and there are people who live through much much worse, but...When they're more spirit than body, more sores than skin, when they're burned and in agony, when flies lay eggs in the corners of the eyes of their children, they live...I don't know if that's just the animal...But I recognize the habit. The addiction to being alive.
