“One can forgive but one should never forget.”
― Marjane Satrapi, Persepolis: The Story of a Childhood

“As he read, I fell in love the way you fall asleep: slowly, and then all at once.”
― John Green, The Fault in Our Stars

“I spent my life folded between the pages of books.
In the absence of human relationships I formed bonds with paper characters. I lived love and loss through stories threaded in history; I experienced adolescence by association. My world is one interwoven web of words, stringing limb to limb, bone to sinew, thoughts and images all together. I am a being comprised of letters, a character created by sentences, a figment of imagination formed through fiction.”
― Tahereh Mafi, Shatter Me

“Sleep came to them, quick and easy, like money to millionaires.”
― Arundhati Roy, The Ministry of Utmost Happiness
