Quotes by Casey Ellis (?)

“Margo sat on the beach, her head in her hands. The idea of feeling special. She could imagine it only as someone can imagine a place they've never even seen a photograph of. It was beautiful, breathtaking but so unreal, so far away.”
― Casey Ellis, Salon Style: Fiction, Poetry and Art

Casey’s Quotes

“A socialist is just someone who is unable to get over his or her astonishment that most people who have lived and died have spent lives of wretched, fruitless, unremitting toil.”
