Quotes by Bett Williams

Runaways are romantic. The girls are waiflike with dyed ratty hair and baggy pants. They usually own a stray dog of the mutt variety and drag it along by a rope, plopping down in front of storefronts to beg for money from passersby. Theyre a mess. It is likely theyll charm you, make you think youre their best friend and savior only to end up using you and then theyll disappear. Thats why theyre romantic. Theyre there and then theyre gone. Romance is always about people appearing in a flash out of nothing or people who are there and then suddenly are not. A magic trick.
