“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

“Not every story has a happy ending,” she offered. “But most do, if you’re brave enough to keep reading to the end.”
― Margaret Rogerson, Mysteries of Thorn Manor

“One does not meddle lightly with the forces of the forest.”
