“Whoever is careless with the truth in small matters cannot be trusted with important matters’ Albert Einstein”
Isabel Ashdown, Little Sister

“To have never loved her, never held her, never felt the pain of her loss, like a limb being wrenched from the body, the ache of it endless and raw.”
Isabel Ashdown, Little Sister

“Somehow I manage to be both invisible and horribly stand-out all at once. I sometimes think this lack in me is the source of everything that is wrong in my life, every lurch of anxiety, every seizure of fear. How do you acquire that good, ‘easy’ thing? Is it something you can be taught? Is it something I could learn now, given a fresh chance to mix in the world?”
Isabel Ashdown, Beautiful Liars
