Ellen Hopkins
Image
But death doesn't scare me. To know exactly when I might expect it, up close and in my face, would actually be a comfort. Because to tell the truth, most of the time dying seems pretty much like my only means of escape.
Ellen Hopkins

Have to Find ...life ...is ...a— ...gamble ...after ...all.
