    Marissa Meyer
    “Vanity is a factor, but it is more a question of control. It is easier to trick others into perceiving you as beautiful if you can convince yourself you are beautiful. But mirrors have an uncanny way of telling the truth.”

    “At one magical instant in your early childhood, the page of a book—that string of confused, alien ciphers—shivered into meaning. Words spoke to you, gave up their secrets; at that moment, whole universes opened. You became, irrevocably, a reader.”

    “Books may not change our suffering, books may not protect us from evil, books may not tell us what is good or what is beautiful, and they will certainly not shield us from the common fate of the grave. But books grant us myriad possibilities: the possibility of change, the possibility of illumination.”

    “We can imagine the books we'd like to read, even if they have not yet been written, and we can imagine libraries full of books we would like to possess, even if they are well beyond our reach, because we enjoy dreaming up a library that reflects every one of our interests and every one of our foibles--a library that, in its variety and complexity, fully reflects the reader we are.”

    “نحن نعرف لماذا نقرأ حتى عندما لا نعرف كيف نقرأ
    في الوقت نفسه نحتفظ بالعالم الظاهري للنص ونتمسك بفعل القراءة
    إننا نقرأ لأننا نريد العثور على النهاية
    فقط لأننا نريد مواصلة القراءة
    نحن نقرأ كالكشافة الذين يقتفون الخطى ناسين كل ما هو حولهم من أشياء
    نقرأ شاردي الذهن متجاوزين بعض الصفحات
    نقرأ باحتقار ، بإعجاب ، بملل ،بانزعاج ، بحماس وبشوق
    في بعض الأحيان تعترينا فرحة غامرة مفاجئة دون أن ندري ما هو السبب”

    “Adeline has decided she would rather be a tree, like Estele. If she must grow roots, she would rather be left to flourish wild instead of pruned, would rather stand alone, allowed to grow beneath the open sky.”

    Victoria Schwab
    “There are days when she mourns the prospect of another year, another decade, another century. There are nights when she cannot sleep, moments when she lies awake and dreams of dying.
    But then she wakes, and sees the pink and orange dawn against the clouds, or hears the lament of a lone fiddle, the music and the melody, and remembers there is such beauty in the world.
    And she does not want to miss it—any of it.”
