Jacob Wren Quotes

But No, I'm Sorry. I Can't End There. I Haven't Yet Said Everything I Want To Say. A Little Girl Is At School, Out In The Playground With Her Friends, And She Sees A Flower And Says To Her Friends, Just Thinking Out Loud, Wondering Gently To Herself: Do You Think Flowers Have Feelings? And For The Rest Of The Day Her Friends Tease Her Relentlessly, With Every New Opportunity That Arises. Do Flowers Have Feelings, That's So Stupid. Right, Flowers Have Feelings. All Day And For The Rest Of The Week: Stupid Flowers Have Stupid Feelings And That Little Girl Feels She Is Never Going To Say Anything Like That Ever Again. She Has Already Learned That When You Open Your Heart Or Express Genuine, Innocent Curiosity Or Wonder About The World, Your Friends Will Pounce On The Opportunity And Use It To Hurt You As Viciously As Possible And There Is Nothing Anyone Can Do To Protect Her. It's Simple Stories Like That That Really Break My Heart.
