Quotes by Janice Hallett  (?)

“A lot of talk inside about feelings. How feelings are like visitors with something to give you. If they knock on your door: answer. Let em in. Accept the gift. Say cheers, mate. Otherwise, they said, the feeling will go away and you won't get the gift.

I disagree. If a feeling knocks and no one answers, it'll get p[EXPLICIT]d off. It'll kick the door in, chuck the gift at you and smash your best ornaments so you don't disrespect it again. You'll be clearing up a lot more mess than you had to start with. So it's good, Maxine, to cry if you want. Remember that.”
Janice Hallett, The Twyford Code

“Yet in his letters to me he was always the same. It seems there’s only so much you can know from letters. A man can hide a world behind words.”
Janice Hallett, The Appeal

“But just because someone is a born leader, doesn’t mean you should follow them.”
Janice Hallett, The Mysterious Case of the Alperton Angels
