“All I could feel was love leaking in my soul and my heart seeping bits of heaven.”
“It's my heart that is tired. A thirteen-year-old heart shouldn't feel like this.”
“I looked briefly up from my notes. I was surrounded by hearts, sectioned and preserved. Hearts with holes. Hearts with leaking valves or thickened walls. Hearts with narrow or transposed aortas. I closed my eyes.”
“People forget that old women were young once, but d'you think we old women forget? In my heart, I'm still thirty.”
“Anger's like a battery that leaks acid right out of meAnd it starts from the heart until it reaches my outer me”
