Quotes by Jillian Forsberg (?)

“This is my discovery,” Janice said. “It doesn’t matter who found the pieces. I work night and day for that institution, and for what? Pennies! Hundred-hour work-weeks, no recognition, no funding. My dreams have been trampled! I can’t even get a new printer, goddamnit! I deserve better, and you’re not taking this opportunity from me.” She began wrapping Clara’s horn in blood-red velvet.”
― Jillian Forsberg, The Rhino Keeper
