Quotes by Deborah Ellis (?)

“Nobody really owns anything. We give back our bodies at the end of our lives. We own our thoughts, but everything else is just borrowed. We use it for a while, then pass it on.
Everything.
We borrow the sun that shines on us today from the people on the other side of the world while they borrow the moon from us. Then we give it back. We can't keep the sun, no matter how afraid we are of the dark.”
― Deborah Ellis, No Ordinary Day

“She doesn't know where she is going. She doesn't know when the next demons will appear.
But she will keep on walking.
She will follow the moon.”
― Deborah Ellis, Moon at Nine
