Taboo Quotes

“Emotions are quite harmless once they are out of the system...It's when they stay inside that they give trouble.”

Emotions

Book:Taboo

“Tilly would need a new environment, and good people around her. She had nowhere to go really. They’d seen enough addiction to know coming back to the same didn’t work anyway. But it would be good for her to get back into school somehow, especially since she’d been doing her last years of schooling and was doing alright from all accounts. “She’s a state ward. You could be her guardian? If she agrees? If we can get her at a boarding school or hostel or something? Then you’d only need to have her here in the holidays, maybe?” She might get a residential place at one of the boarding schools. Something. If she could rest, if she recovered, if she wanted.”
