Quotes by Mariko Turk (?)

“Dreams didn't follow logical, step-by-step patterns. They swirled, never taking you down a straight path.”
― Mariko Turk, The Other Side of Perfect

“We cried because doing something brave didn’t always make you feel brave. We cried because fixing things was hard, and change was slow. We cried for all the ways that loving something with your whole heart can also break it at the same time.”
― Mariko Turk, The Other Side of Perfect

“Not everything is so broken it has to stay that way, Alina. Some things, you can fix.”
