I think your vision gets better as you get older.
Jennifer Donnelly
She was everything he wanted from his life, the very measure of his dreams.
Jennifer Donnelly
The King walks. He nods. His glance is like God's touch - under it all things spring to life. A wave of his hand and a hundred musicians tear into the Handel, making a sound you've never heard before, and never will again. A sound that goes through you, through flesh and bone, and reorders the very beat of your heart.

Jennifer Donnelly
He pressed himself into me and kissed my neck, and it was as if everything strong and solid inside me, heart and bones and muscle and gut, softened and melted from the heat of him.

Jennifer Donnelly
Turn away. From the darkness, the madness, the pain. Open your eyes and look at the light.
Jennifer Donnelly
I just love historical fiction.
Jennifer Donnelly
Only the hopeless love God.
Jennifer Donnelly
There is a ghost here. A lonely, heartbroken spirit. The ghost of everything that could've been and never was.
Jennifer Donnelly
Writers are damned liars. Every single one of them.
Jennifer Donnelly
It is hope, not despair, that undoes us all.
Jennifer Donnelly
The world goes on, as stupid and brutal as tomorrow as it was today. And though I am shuddering with pain, and twisting with pain, and sobbing with pain, i laugh.Because I know now. I know the answer. I know the truth. Oh,dead man, you are dead wrong, I tell him.Can't you see? The world goes on, stupid and brutal, but I [do not. I do not.]
Jennifer Donnelly
Sometimes, when you catch someone unaware at just the right time and in just the right light, you can catch sight of what they will be.
