Quotation:
I could direct a very decent Holocaust film, but I don’t have the same experience as a young boy who was rocked to sleep in the lap of a grandmother who had a tattooed number on her arm, who told him stories of the people who disappeared, the relatives she never saw again, as he drifted off with his cheek nestled next to that number.
Bill Duke
Social Example:
The sloth demon made a great therapist.
She was just so calm. So stable. So able to get her patients to relax.
Draw them onto her lap.
Let them nestle against her soft wool. Her big, pillowy breasts.
Tell them it was going to be alright. All they needed to do was relax.
