Writers are damned liars. Every single one of them.
Jennifer Donnelly
He's wearing boots, a kilt, and a long-sleeve tee. No coat, even though it's December. Beautiful people don't need coats. They've got their auras to keep them warm.

Jennifer Donnelly
For mad I may be, but I will never be convenient.
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.
Jennifer Donnelly
A new word. Bright with possibilities. A flawless pearl to turn over and over in my hand, then put away for safekeeping.
Jennifer Donnelly
Hope is the crystal meth of emotions. It hooks you fast and kills you hard.
Jennifer Donnelly
Bravery is feeling fear but doing the thing anyway.

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
