Quotes by Cordelia Jensen (?)

“I think the most important quality of a mentor is that they are open to following students where they want to go. Not always pushing their own agenda.”

“All night, snow.
Open the window,
stretch my arms out.
Keep my eyes open
in the white, whipping wind.
There are few cars on the highway.
The river's frozen in places.
In a city that never stops,
I can hardly hear anything.

For tonight, the city gives me
what I need.”
― Cordelia Jensen, Skyscraping

“Maude asks me why I'm not
more upset.
I tell her if you ride a roller coaster enough
it starts to feel like a carousel.
All the up, downs make a circle,
spinning.”
― Cordelia Jensen, Every Shiny Thing
