“You are more than the sum of your parts, but your past is still that: yours. I wouldn’t presume to take something from you that you might not want to give up, even if it’s painful to think about.”
― T.J. Klune, Somewhere Beyond the Sea

“Time changes you. Stories change you. The people you meet change you. I’m simply not the same man that I was before.”
― Ashley Poston, A Novel Love Story

“Because even after the people were gone, there were still stories. There were always stories. Other people took the heart of her books, and kept them close, and nurtured them and grew into something new, because nothing could ever stay in stasis. Nothing ever stopped. Nothing was permanent.

― Ashley Poston, A Novel Love Story

“Sometimes, that’s how it happens. Sometimes your favorite book just hits you out of the blue like a bolt of lightning.”
