Longing

Maybe when people longed for a thing that bad the longing made them trust in anything that might give it to them.

~ Carson McCullers

I recently read The Heart is a Lonely Hunter by Carson McCullers. I love southern writers. I haven't read as much of her work as some other, but I like what I have read so far. She is an excellent writer.

I think I can kind of understand what she is saying in this particular quote. What I can't understand is why these half-women collectibles exist.
