“She is too fond of books, and it has turned her brain.”
― Louisa May Alcott, Work: A Story of Experience

“She longed for porch friendship, for the sticky, hot sensation of familiar female legs thrown over hers in companionship. She pined for the girliness of it all, the unplanned, improvisational laziness. She wanted to soak the words 'time management' out of her lexicon. She wanted to hand over, to yield, to let herself float down the unchartered beautiful fertile musky swamp of life, where creativity and eroticism and deep intelligence dwell.”
― Rebecca Wells, Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood

“The road to hell is paved with adverbs.”
― Stephen King, On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft

“I have hated words and I have loved them, and I hope I have made them right.”
― Markus Zusak, The Book Thief
