Eighteen Quotes - Page 4

• Me llamo Mary Katherine Blackwood. Tengo dieciocho años y vivo con mi hermana Constance. A menudo he pensado que, con un poco de suerte, podría haber nacido hombre lobo, porque los dos dedos corazón de mis dos manos tienen la misma longitud, pero he tenido que conformarme con lo que tenía.
