More: Alice, if you can tell me that you understand, I think I can make a good death, if I have to.

I like the plains – and I like the work [her painting] – everything is so ridiculously new – and there is something about it that just makes you glad you're living here – You understand – there is nothing here – so maybe there is something wrong with me that I am liking it so much.“
