Quotes by May Cobb  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Tallahassee, Florida (one of my favorite places, though—I loved the howl of the sea breeze and walking along the shore, collecting shells),”
May Cobb, The Hunting Wives

“As it turns out, you can’t outrun who you are. My darker urges simply followed me here and are even more amplified because it’s so quiet, and sometimes so boring.”
May Cobb, The Hunting Wives

“It wasn’t envy, though; I didn’t want to be her. It was so much more than that. I wanted to be near her. For her to notice me, too. The idea of it took my breath away. It became powerful and even consuming.”
May Cobb, The Hunting Wives
