Quotes by Megan E. Freeman  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“I love the library.
My own personal book church.
Safety.

But I'm losing patience with fiction.
The challenges and triumphs of
fictional characters only make me
feel worse about myself.
Novels end nicely and neatly
with all obstacles overcome.
Loose ends tied up.

My own story just keeps unraveling
with depressing predictability.”
