Matt Haig
“Never underestimate the big importance of small things”
Matt Haig, The Midnight Library

Jessica George
“It's about what love is. Which is trust, commitment, empathy, and respect. It means really giving a shit about the other person.”
Jessica George, Maame

Jodi Picoult
“Do you think we’ll ever go back to the way it was?” I ask Finn. He glances at me. “I don’t know,” he says thoughtfully. “When I used to talk to patients before surgery, they always asked if they’d be able to do everything they used to do before the operation. I mean, technically, the answer should be yes. But there’s always a scar. Even if it’s not right across your belly, it’s in your head somewhere—the brand-new knowledge that you weren’t invincible. I think that changes you for the long haul.”
Jodi Picoult, Wish You Were Here

“We grow up fast. Not by force, but because we are needed.'

Jessica George, Maame

Jessica George
“Thing is, you don't ever go back Maddie, to life before, and my advice is to accept that. To accept that you're not the same person you were when (view spoiler) and you can't be again. Accept that your life is different now because of this monumental, irreversible change and that it's okay to feel guilty one day and indescribable happiness another. This is life now. This is how you live.”
Jessica George, Maame
