Hungry Quote by Sylvia Brownrigg
““You know, babe." Her voice had an older woman's weary advice in it. "You're so hungry. You want so much." "Well." Flannery shrugged. "So what? I'll never get it." "You might. If you stop asking." "I'll never stop asking." "I know." Anne touched her cheek. "It's one of the things that makes you strangely lovable.””
