“Hearing her favorite story had calmed her. It had made her braver. Familiar stories do that. They're as much a part of our identity as the backs of our hands. If we were zebras, our stories would be our stripes. If we were pilots, they would be our compass. If we were adventurers, they'd be our North Star. Our stories are what makes us unique. The combination of stories in our lives—the unique mix of the stories we choose to read, choose to live—makes each of us just a tiny bit different from everyone else on the planet.”
― Kristin O'Donnell Tubb, The Story Collector

“This was one of the things she loved best about books... she could briefly clasp hands with them across eternity, a chance meeting of souls made possible by their shared love of a story.”
― Margaret Rogerson, Mysteries of Thorn Manor

“Not every story has a happy ending. But most do, if you’re brave enough to keep reading to the end”
“How can you be so certain?”
“I’ve read a lot of them.”
― Margaret Rogerson, Mysteries of Thorn Manor

“Maybe falling in love wasn't something you dreamed about, or something you left to destiny. Maybe it was something that happened when you were having too much fun to notice.”
― Leslie Vedder, The Bone Spindle
