"The Clothes They Stood Up In and The Lady in the Van," by Alan Bennett, c. 2003 (booksfree.com copy)
This is to be read after The Measure of Our Days by Jerome Groopman, c. 1997
I collect quotes as I read. These ones are fun, poetical, or even philosophical. Take what you like, and leave the rest. Note that these aren't necessarily the "best" in the book. These happen to be close to the spot where I stopped reading each night.
Truth to tell (and though she didn't say so to Mrs. Ransome) it was advice Dusty only proffered halfheartedly anyway. The more she saw of the lilies of the field syndrome the less faith she had in it. She'd had one or two clients who'd told her that a hurtful burgulary had given them a clue how to live, that from now on they would set less store by material possessions, travel light, etc. Six months later she'd gone back on a follow-up visit to find them more encumbered than ever. Lots of people could give up things. Dusty had decided: what they couldn't do without was shopping for them. p50

This guy moves house the way other people move their bowels. p112
