Quotes by Ann Napolitano (?)

“You鈥檙e depressed, not crazy. It鈥檚 not insane to be depressed in this world. It鈥檚 more sane than being happy. I never trust those upbeat individuals who grin no matter what鈥檚 going on. Those are the ones with a screw loose, if you ask me.”
― Ann Napolitano, Hello Beautiful

“When an old person dies,鈥� Kent said, 鈥渆ven if that person is wonderful, he or she is still somewhat ready, and so are the people who loved them. They鈥檙e like old trees, whose roots have loosened in the ground. They fall gently. But when someone like your aunt Sylvie dies鈥攂efore her time鈥攈er roots get pulled out and the ground is ripped up. Everyone nearby is in danger of being knocked over.”
