You know, taking what they need to buy a loaf of bread to feed their family. Can you begrudge them that? Winter is coming and times are hard.â€ He nodded his head in the direction of the thieves. â€œRight?â€ â€œI ainâ€™t got no family,â€ flat-nose replied. â€œI spend most of my coin on drink.â€ â€œYouâ€™re not helping,â€ Hadrian said.”
“The gap between the inner and outer self is one I've found interesting, even essential, about the way we move through the world. In The Delivery Room, I enjoyed traveling back and forth between the perspectives of the patients and that of the therapist - with the irony that with your therapist, you are at least supposed to be your most authentic self.”
