Ransom Riggs Quotes
I Thought About How My Great-grandparents Had Starved To Death. I Thought About Their Wasted Bodies Being Fed To Incinerators Because People They Didn't Know Hated Them. I Thought About How The Children Who Lived In This House Had Been Burned Up And Blown Apart Because A Pilot Who Didn't Care Pushed A Button. I Thought About How My Grandfather's Family Had Been Taken From Him And How Because Of That My Dad Grew Up Feeling Like He Didn't Have A Dad. And How I Had Acute Stress And Nightmares And Was Sitting Alone In A Falling Down House And Crying Hot Stupid Tears All Over My Shirt. All Because Of A Seventy Year Old Hurt That Had Somehow Been Passed Down To Me Like Some Poisonous Heirloom.
