Quotes by Anne Ursu (?)

“Kids can handle a lot more than you think they can. It's when they get to be grown up that you have to start worrying.”
― Anne Ursu, Breadcrumbs

70 likes

“I believe that the world isn't always what we can see...I believe there are secrets in the woods. And I believe that goodness wins out...So, if someone's changed overnight - by witch curse or poison apple or were-turtle - you have to show them what's good. You show them love. That works a surprising amount of the time.”
― Anne Ursu, Breadcrumbs

“It’s all going to be okay. She would like to hear that now, even if it was a lie. Because some lies are beautiful. Stories do not tell you that.”
