edit data

Penelope Wright spent a quarter of her life on the east coast and the rest in Washington state. She worked her way through college in restaurants, hospitals, factories, and everything in between, finally graduating summa cum laude from the University of Washington after an absurdly long time. She loves both traditions and new experiences, and will try anything once, except skydiving, which is a hard no. She lives north of Seattle with her husband and two amazing teenagers.

Quotes by Penelope Wright (?)

“Good can’t exist without evil because without an opposite, it holds no definition of its own.”
― Penelope Wright, Crown of Rust and Ruin

“That’s really freaking optimistic.” Carlos smiles. “I have to be an optimist.” “Why?” Carlos shrugs. “What’s the alternative?” “I suppose you could be consumed by bitterness and despair.” “I could. I’ve got enough reason to, that’s for sure. But I decide how I react to things, and my choice is to laugh in life’s face and tell it if it wants to crush me, it’s gonna have to try harder than that.”
― Penelope Wright, Time Bomb
