Writers are damned liars. Every single one of them.
Jennifer Donnelly
Little by little, the old world crumbled, and not once did the king imagine that some of the pieces might fall on him.
Jennifer Donnelly
But his words fall away. He looks confused. He looks flustered and sorry. Like you do when you run up to someone you think you know and take her arm and she turns around and you were wrong.

I play until my fingers are blue and stiff from the cold, and then I keep on playing. Until I'm lost in the music. Until I am the music--notes and chords, the melody and harmony. It hurts, but it's okay because when I'm the music, I'm not me. Not sad. Not afraid. Not desperate. Not guilty.

Only the hopeless love God.
Jennifer Donnelly

Jennifer Donnelly
Airports should all belong to the same country. The country of Crappacia. Or Bleakovania. Or Suckitan.
Jennifer Donnelly
Never take what's offered, always ask for more.
Jennifer Donnelly
Things are NEVER what they seem, Pa, I thought. I used to think they were, but I was wrong or stupid or blind or something. Old folks are forever complaining about their failing eyesight, but I think your vision gets better as you get older. Mine surely was.
Jennifer Donnelly
Hope is the crystal meth of emotions. It hooks you fast and kills you hard.
Jennifer Donnelly
There were times when I lifted my face to the sky, stretched my arms wide to the winter night, and laughed out loud, so happy was I. The memory of it makes me laugh now, but not from happiness. Be careful what you show the world. You never know when the wolf is watching.
