“Books allow you to be whoever you want to be, to escape yourself for a while.”
― Amy Harmon, Making Faces

“I'm nobody! Who are you?
Are you nobody, too?
Then there ’s a pair of us—don’t tell!
They ’d banish us, you know.

How dreary to be somebody!
How public, like a frog
To tell your name the livelong day
To an admiring bog!”
― Emily Dickinson, The Complete Poems of Emily Dickinson

“We accept the love we think we deserve.”
― Stephen Chbosky, The Perks of Being a Wallflower

“I had feared that if I opened the floodgates I would drown. But as the waves crashed over me, I was not consumed, I was swept up, washed, my soul blanketed with blessed relief.”
― Amy Harmon, A Different Blue
