Quotes by Jaye Robin Brown (?)

“It's stupid because I don't even know her, but sometimes you see someone and there's just this flicker. Like a light bulb that glows around the person, making them shine brighter than all the others. It's not that they're more attractive or smarter or funnier than anyone else. It's just they have a combination of all the things that speak directly to you.”
― Jaye Robin Brown, Georgia Peaches and Other Forbidden Fruit

“Death can kill more than the person who died. It kills the future you thought you knew. It kills the dreams you were brave enough to have and gilds your stupidity for ever having them in the first place.”
― Jaye Robin Brown, The Meaning of Birds

“I want to feel proud and happy about my selflessness. But what happens when being selfless takes away a big part of your self?”
