“Memories,’ she said, at last. ‘Not people, Emmett. We take memories and bind them. Whatever people can’t bear to remember. Whatever they can’t live with. We take those memories and put them where they can’t do any harm. That’s all books are”
― Bridget Collins, The Binding

“A thousand half-loves must be forsaken to take one whole heart home.”
