Gray Quote by Jennifer Donnelly

“Because I don't care anymore, Ms. Beezemeyer, I want to say. Not about Amade Malherbeau, my classes, college or much of anything. Because the gray world I've managed to live in for the past two years has started to turn black around the edges.” quote by Jennifer Donnelly
