I think that people dont know how to do anything anymore. My father was a janitor. He could take a car apart and put it back together. He could build a house in the back yard. Today, if you ask people what they know, they say, I know how to hire someone. – Walter Mosley
When you deal with a person whos experiencing dementia, you can see where theyre struggling with knowledge. You can see what they forget completely, what they forget but they know what they once knew. You can tell how theyre trying to remember. – Walter Mosley
