“We all occupy space for such a short period of time, even though sometimes it feels like eternity. We’re here, and then gone, and our stuff stays behind. The things that we used, the things that we loved, the things that we treasured, and adored, and despised. Those trinkets exist far longer than we do, and I’ve always imagined them as that—just things. To be bought, sold, gathered.”
― Ashley Poston, Bookish and the Beast

“Some people could walk with galaxies tilting at their heart, planets grinding against their ribs, whole worlds dragging in their wake and never stealing their balance.”
― Roshani Chokshi, The Bronzed Beasts

“In refusing to be a stepping stone, she had made herself a boot.”
― M.L. Wang, Blood Over Bright Haven

“Stories are both an escape from the truths of the world and the only way to see them clearly.”
― Axie Oh, The Girl Who Fell Beneath the Sea
