Quotes by Jennifer Murphy (?)

“without truth behind them, words are just a bunch of letters.”

“A wise friend of mine, my teacher and mentor at the police academy in Detroit where I got my training, once said that there are three worlds: the world we know, the world we are yet to know, and the world we don’t even know exists. He said a good cop is always looking for that third world.”
― Jennifer Murphy, I Love You More

“Now, of course I’d known the general meaning of the word secret before I looked it up that day, but as I’ve come to understand, none of us really knows the entire meaning of a word because of the very fact that so many words are overused and misused.”
― Jennifer Murphy, I Love You More
