Jennifer Donnelly
Becuse God loves us, but the devil takes an interest.
Jennifer Donnelly
Be careful what you show the world. You never know when the wolf is watching.
Jennifer Donnelly
One expects decent people to stand up for the good of all. Decent people shut their doors and hide behind them as decent people do. Massacres could never happen if it weren't for decent people.
Jennifer Donnelly
I play until my fingertips are raw. Until I rip a nail and bleed on the strings. Until my hands hurt so bad I forget my heart does.
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.
Jennifer Donnelly
