Quotes by D.J. Hawkins  (?)

“She felt it in her bones, that everything was about to change, or perhaps it already had. So
she breathed in the pain and let it lay heavy across her chest. This was a pain her heart couldn’t ignore and if it meant being in Cayden’s arms for just a little while longer, she’d bear the brunt of it all. Forever if she had to.”
Deasia Hawkins, Quietus

“There is darkness in Ella, a brokenness that stems from her heart. So I’m going to rip yours out, nice and quick, and then feed them to the maggots.”
Deasia Hawkins, Quietus

“It seems you are confused,” she whispered against his skin, fingers itching to trace the
claw marks etched so deeply into his chest. “You don’t own me. I can wear whatever I want,
even if that’s nothing.” This time she did place a hand on his chest and they both flinched at the
sudden shock.”
Deasia Hawkins, Quietus

“I can never read all the books I want; I can never be all the people I want and live all the lives I want. I can never train myself in all the skills I want. And why do I want? I want to live and feel all the shades, tones and variations of mental and physical experience possible in my life. And I am horribly limited.”
Sylvia Plath, The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath

“And by the way, everything in life is writable about if you have the outgoing guts to do it, and the imagination to improvise. The worst enemy to creativity is self-doubt.”
Sylvia Plath, The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath
