The Cancer Pavillion - Anne Boyer

This quote was added by eem23
Language is no longer compliant to its social function. Sentences hold out against syntax. Vocabularies re-form into awkward translations of words we once knew or new words we never will. Children who were once taught to speak by their mothers now stare at their sick mothers, who are gesturing like babies learning to talk, unable to recall the word for "television" or "cup."
