“It is likely I will die next to a pile of things I was meaning to read.”
― Lemony Snicket

“When I read these books, I no longer felt like I was confined to a very tiny world. I no longer felt housebound and bedbound. Really, I told myself, I was just brainbound. And this was not such a sorry state of affairs. My brain, with a little help from other people's brains, could take me to some pretty interesting places, and create all kinds of wonderful things. Despite its faults, my brain, I decided, was not the worst place in the world to be.”
― Gavin Extence, The Universe Versus Alex Woods

“A dream dirty and bruised is better than no dream at all.”
― Laini Taylor, Days of Blood & Starlight

“The windows of my soul I throw
Wide open to the sun.”
― John Greenleaf Whittier, John Greenleaf Whittier's Poetry: An Appraisal and a Selection
