And I know how deeply this disturbs them, and it would make me smile, this earnest need for foolish anecdote or sharp simple patterns in the story of what happened to us all, except that I have forgotten how to smile.](/assets/img/quote-photos/i-like-it-that-they-disciples-feed-me-and-pay-for-my-clothes-and-protect-me-an.jpg)
