Eirys Wallace

“Don't laugh at the spinsters, dear girls, for often very tender, tragic romances are hidden away in the hearts that beat so quietly under the sober gowns, and many silent sacrifices of youth, health, ambition, love itself, make the faded faces beautiful in God's sight. Even the sad, sour sisters should be kindly dealt with, because they have missed the sweetest part of life, if for no other reason.”
― Louisa May Alcott, Little Women

“How can we live without our lives? How will we know it's us without our past?”
― John Steinbeck, The Grapes of Wrath

“You know you're in love when you can't fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams.”
― Dr. Seuss

“I liked my name pronounced by your lips in a grateful, happy accent.”
― Charlotte Brontë, Jane Eyre
