For 22 years I was without trouble. I got along with people. They liked me. They called me smiling. Because that's the way it was with me. My eyes I mean, laughing, the way I always was inside.

And then I had this thing with a woman. And the laugh went out of my eyes and out of my insides. That's when I learned that thing or two, especially about women. when I learn that some women don't even have the right to live.
