Famous Susan L. Marshall Quotes

“I feel the searing, burning of my hands, caught alight by the red-tipped fire. Silent I am, mesmerised by the flames that have now caught me in their trap. Fire is bad. Fire takes people away. Claire’s words are accurate. I am in a burning dream world. One that I may never leave. My hands and arms are now alight and my eyes are stinging with tears.”

I could have wings that soar, high above the red stained streets into a much calmer, brighter sky.”

“I am pressing my palm gently against the coraline limestone. It feels warm against my skin, alerting me to my own physical presence in this moment. My body exists right here, right now. I feel the rare, radiant rays of the sun, warming my neck and back. Steady the light is, not fading away this time.”
