Laura Ruby Quotes

A Word About Hope House: There Are Places In The World Where So Many Desperate People Have Lived And So Many Bad Things Have Happened That The Places Themselves Have Become Desperately Bad. They're Damp And Weird And Smell Like Foot Fungus. The Windows Are Never Clean, And The Linoleum Curls Up At The Edges Because It Can't Stand The Floor. Every Corner Is Sprayed With Cobwebs And Quivering Shadows. When You Walk Into Those Bad Places, You Can Feel A Headache Brewing Between Your Eyebrows, A Churning In Your Gut, A Cold Prickle At The Back Of Your Neck. You Feel Sad And Angry And Helpless, All At The Same Time. These Bad Places Seem To Hate You But, They Also Seem To Want To Keep You There Very Very Much.
