    Jojo Moyes
    “Hey Clark', he said.'Tell me something good'. I stared out of the window at the bright-blue Swiss sky and I told him a story of two people. Two people who shouldn't have met, and who didn't like each other much when they did, but who found they were the only two people in the world who could possibly have understood each other. And I told him of the adventures they had, the places they had gone, and the things I had seen that I had never expected to. I conjured for him electric skies and iridescent seas and evenings full of laughter and silly jokes. I drew a world for him, a world far from a Swiss industrial estate, a world in which he was still somehow the person he had wanted to be. I drew the world he had created for me, full of wonder and possibility.”

    Jojo Moyes
    “I turned in my seat. Will’s face was in shadow and I couldn’t quite make it out.
    ‘Just hold on. Just for a minute.’
    ‘Are you all right?’ I found my gaze dropping towards his chair, afraid some part of him was pinched, or trapped, that I had got something wrong.
    ‘I’m fine. I just . . . ’
    I could see his pale collar, his dark suit jacket a contrast against it.
    ‘I don’t want to go in just yet. I just want to sit and not have to think about . . . ’ He swallowed.
    Even in the half-dark it seemed effortful.
    ‘I just . . . want to be a man who has been to a concert with a girl in a red dress. Just for a few minutes more.’
    I released the door handle.
    ‘Sure.’
    I closed my eyes and lay my head against the headrest, and we sat there together for a while longer, two people lost in remembered music, half hidden in the shadow of a castle on a moonlit hill.”
    Jojo Moyes, Me Before You

    “The best way to measure how much you've grown isn't by inches or the number of laps you can now run around the track, or even your grade point average-- though those things are important, to be sure. It's what you've done with your time, how you've chosen to spend your days, and whom you've touched this year. That, to me, is the greatest measure of success.”
    R.J. Palacio, Wonder

    “Sometimes I reread my favorite books from back to front. I start with the last chapter and read backward until I get to the beginning. When you read this way, characters go from hope to despair, from self-knowledge to doubt. In love stories, couples start out as lovers and end as strangers. Coming-of-age books become stories of losing your way. Your favorite characters come back to life.”
    Nicola Yoon, Everything, Everything

    Jay Asher
    “You don’t know what goes on in anyone’s life but your own. And when you mess with one part of a person’s life, you’re not messing with just that part. Unfortunately, you can’t be that precise and selective. When you mess with one part of a person’s life, you’re messing with their entire life. Everything. . . affects everything.”

    “If my love were an ocean,
    there would be no more land.
    If my love were a desert,
    you would see only sand.
    If my love were a star-
    late at night, only light.
    And if my love could grow wings,
    I'd be soaring in flight.”
