Anger Quote by Taylor Jenkins Reid

“I've come to realize that resentment is malignant. That it starts small and festers. That it grows wild and unfettered inside of you until it's so expansive that it has worked its way into the furthest, deepest parts of you and holds on for dear life.” quote by Taylor Jenkins Reid
