Quotes by Jennifer Anton (?)

“Apathy comes when you have no control, when you are trying to provide; how little it takes for humans to turn into scavengers. Kindness is replaced with cynicism as people turn inward, shutting off the need to connect unless for their own gain or preservation.”
― Jennifer Anton, Under the Light of the Italian Moon
