Quotes by Teresa R. Funke

In those glorious moments when someone sees, really sees, your art and bothers to tell you so, relish it!

“I let all that anger and worry go because they dont belong to me any more than the future does. And I dont wanna feel them anyhow, because the truth is, whatever happens when this war ends, here and now, far from Richmond County, Im freer than Ive ever been.”
