Ellen Hopkins
Funny how when your life is mostly bullshit, you turn off feeling. Sometimes it's hard to turn it back on again.
Ellen Hopkins
Some secrets can't be kept too long. No matter how hard you try to hide them, sooner or later they scurry out from your cupboards, cockroaches on the run.
Ellen Hopkins
Our meeting, touching, accidentally connecting immediately, interwoven hand-in-hand, heart-to-heart.
Ellen Hopkins
Detailed descriptions, abstract ambitions, relevant observations, your's and mine.
Ellen Hopkins
Would I drown saving him?
Ellen Hopkins
