Quotes by Yrsa Daley-Ward  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Self expression is a tricky
thing. Just as you start to feel
comfortable with yourself after years
of not, you then have to justify
yourself to other people.”
Yrsa Daley-Ward, bone

“You will come away bruised.
You will come away bruised
but this will give you poetry.”
Yrsa Daley-Ward

“If you are afraid to write it,
that's a good sign.
I suppose you know when you're
writing the
truth when you're terrified.”
Yrsa Daley-Ward, bone
