Alice Quote by Stephenie Meyer

“Well, it's nice to get something right for a change. You don't know how irritating it is - missing things the way I have been. I feel so useless. So . . . normal." She cringed in horror of the word. "I can't imagine how awful that must feel. Being normal? Ugh.” quote by Stephenie Meyer
