Quotes by Megan Cummins (?)

“In real life, as in books, people can be thin, poorly written, and it's not always their fault if they are.”
― Megan Cummins, Atomic Hearts

“I had to become a different, stronger person before I'd even figured out who I was in the first place.”
― Megan Cummins, Atomic Hearts

“The problem, though, is that hell is you and other people, and even from the vantage point of my forgiving memory, I don't always like myself in the story I'm telling, and the guilt-bound part of me would have me show all the bad parts.”
― Megan Cummins, Atomic Hearts
