Katja Michael

“It is difficult to move on when your surroundings stay the same.”
Katja Michael, She Came at Dawn

“Sometimes the most beautiful things are in front of our eyes, and we don’t even notice because we’re either too busy or too afraid to take a closer look.”
Katja Michael

“Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind.”
Bernard M. Baruch

“Closing my eyes doesn't help. Fire burns brighter in the darkness.”
Suzanne Collins, Mockingjay

“Only the very weak-minded refuse to be influenced by literature and poetry.”
Cassandra Clare, Clockwork Angel
