"People say the eyes are the windows to the soul. bullshit. It's the hands."
-Robert De Niro; Great Expectations
How true. Re-watching one of my top-10 favorite movies today (depsite a terrible ending). But I love this line. Mostly because I love my hands. you know why? They are hideous. Flour makes them dry and coarse, cracked and bloody around the cuticle. Burns from ovens, pans, cookie sheets and cake trays run along my forearm all the way to the elbow. And I love it, I'm so proud. every scar, every line like a roadmap from where I've come.
