And its a tragedy - when we can't create purely for the joy it brings us. Don't be afraid to play, Fionn. It's good for the soul.”
― Helen Cullen, The Dazzling Truth: A Novel

“And this is what I need you two to understand: You have always known who I am. Who I am is your mother. This is the truest part of me.”
― Charmaine Wilkerson, Black Cake
