Quotes by D.K. Marley  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“His mind relished the sudden prick of words as her soft, ethereal lips kissed his forehead, filling his mind with a rhythm of words.”
D.K. Marley, Blood and Ink

“In truth, I bear the fault alone, for a writer longs to see his words come to life, especially as a playwright to see the characters you create in your mind come to flesh and blood on the stage. What delight strokes the vanity of a writer to hear the swoons of the penny-stinkers clamorng at your feet and calling your name.”
D.K. Marley, Blood and Ink
