Quotes by Larissa Behrendt (?)

“Sometimes people do things we can't understand because we can't see inside their dark hearts.”
― Larissa Behrendt, After Story

“I don't think that big houses are all they're cracked up to be. I grew up in one of the biggest in town and it was nothing to envy. It was just more space for coldness and for the things that happened there to be kept quiet. Imagine how many secrets this big pile of bricks must hold since a place consists of everything that's happened there; it's a pool of memories, good and bad, all held in.”
― Larissa Behrendt, After Story
