Quotes by Laurie Petrou (?)

“She ignored nagging doubts about her solitary life; she was very good at compartmentalizing. It made her appear cold or detached. The truth was the opposite. She had a deep well of love, but it was not accessible to just anyone.”
― Laurie Petrou, Stargazer

4 likes

“She had taught herself how to stand, how to act, how to be. To make the most of who she was.”
― Laurie Petrou, Stargazer

“...she would comfort herself with her solitude. Reading books, sketching, making notes, little observations and collages.”
― Laurie Petrou, Stargazer
