“It’s safer to be angry than sad. Anger is a weapon. Sadness is a tomb.”
Jenni Howell, Boys with Sharp Teeth

“Life begins without our choice and ends the same way, a straight line of birth, breath, death. It’s us, our ideas and hopes and dreams and needs, that make the way difficult.”
Jenni Howell, Boys with Sharp Teeth

“That all my life I’ve wanted something I’m not even capable of. That I won’t ever be more, because I couldn’t even be enough.”
Jenni Howell, Boys with Sharp Teeth
