Karen Joy Fowler
“You know how everything seems so normal when you’re growing up,” she asked plaintively, “and then comes this moment when you realize your whole family is nuts?”
Karen Joy Fowler, We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves

Vanessa Diffenbaugh
“Do you really think you’re the only human being alive who is unforgivably flawed? Who’s been hurt almost to the point of breaking?”
Vanessa Diffenbaugh, The Language of Flowers

Vanessa Diffenbaugh
“If it was true that moss did not have roots, and maternal love could grow spontaneously, as if from nothing, perhaps I had been wrong to believe myself unfit to raise my daughter. Perhaps the unattached, the unwanted, the unloved, could grow to give love as lushly as anyone else.”
Vanessa Diffenbaugh

Orson Scott Card
“Sometimes you have to trust people enough to let them succeed and love them enough to let them fail.”
Orson Scott Card, Earth Awakens

Garth Stein
“Stories continue in all directions to include even the retelling of the stories themselves, as legend is informed by interpretation, and interpretation is informed by time.”
Garth Stein, A Sudden Light
