Quotes
I think I might have been born bad.
When you’re a child no one expects you to understand about death.
If you don’t know about something, you don’t think about it.
I imagined myself a witch, and all witches were powerful.
I had the feeling of being pulled in two directions, like when you’re stuck in a dream and you try to wake yourself by running, but your legs don’t work.
I looked at the fire, and I must have done that thing where you look at something so long you don’t see it anymore.
I felt my heart beat in my throat like a small bird struggling to get out.
I had no way to know that my father had changed.
I felt the ground shake and I thought of the war and wondered if we were all about to die.
I turned and looked at my father as though I’d never seen him before.
I thought that if I didn’t concentrate on anything, I wouldn’t feel anything.
I’d read somewhere that a body could survive without food for twenty-one days.
