Ellen Hopkins
Anger is easier than forgiveness.
Ellen Hopkins

The problem with being grounded is it gives you a whole lot of unavoidable time to think. NOt even pulling weeds can take away your ability to plot all the varied and wonderful things you might do to get even, or at least to make up, just get a smidgen for time lost to TV and yard work and house cleaning.
Ellen Hopkins
Too much to take in, too much to purge. Why must every memory, once sweet, dead end in such ugliness?
Ellen Hopkins
