“But love has to be stronger than hate, or there is no future for us.”
― Kristin Hannah, The Nightingale

“...what matters in life is not whether we receive a round of applause; what matters is whether we have the courage to venture forth despite the uncertainty of acclaim.”
― Amor Towles, A Gentleman in Moscow

“How many lifetimes do we devote to their single one? What does it take to be a good parent? Not much. Just everything. Absolutely everything.”

“I love seeing the bookshops and meeting the booksellers-- booksellers really are a special breed. No one in their right mind would take up clerking in a bookstore for the salary, and no one in his right mind would want to own one-- the margin of profit is too small. So, it has to be a love of readers and reading that makes them do it-- along with first dibs on the new books.”
― Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrow, The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society
