Quotes by Patrice Caldwell (?)

“Don't let love take too high, 'cause you'll be a kite without a tail, and before you know it, caught in a storm cloud. And lightning ain't kind. Love ain't worth being electrocuted for.”
― Patrice Caldwell, A Phoenix First Must Burn

“They think you're stuck up. That you like being alone, when really you're barely hanging on. You're muffling tears at night with your pillow. If you could get rid of your softness as easily as they put their expectations on you, you would.”
― Patrice Caldwell, A Phoenix First Must Burn
