Quotes by Marlee Jane Ward (?)

“Sometimes here the hurt and the good feelings get all mixed up, Sometimes they become the same thing. And sometimes you gotta feel your way out of the pain in your brain. There are lots of ways to do it.”

“In those black-liquid eyes is a whole history of pain and I guess that this will be just another hurt on top of all the other hurts, but at least this pain will be real. With this kind of pain, the pain that you choose, at least you get to know when it ends. At least it has an end.”
― Marlee Jane Ward, Welcome To Orphancorp
