Quotes by Marcus Kliewer (?)

“Even when the event was completely out of her control, even when the other party was blatantly overstepping her bounds, she always found a way to blame herself. Always felt this nagging sense of guilt for everything, as if her very existence was a violation of some stone-etched decree.”
― Marcus Kliewer, We Used to Live Here
