Quotes by Mae Murray (?)

“You were raped. You had an abortion. Your little brother was shot. Life’s never been easy for none of us, not a day in our lives. It’s been shit, and it’ll always be shit. All we’ve got is each other.”
― Mae Murray, I'm Sorry If I Scared You

“For just a moment, she forgot her reluctance to come home, because home was not a place as much as it was a feeling, and the feeling was love, love, love.”
― Mae Murray, I'm Sorry If I Scared You

“Teeth spat in a bloody arc, clattering against the wall and floor like rain on a tin roof.”
