Brit Bennett
“People thought that being one of a kind made you special. No, it just made you lonely. What was special was belonging with someone else.”
Brit Bennett, The Vanishing Half

Brit Bennett
“There were many ways to be alienated from someone, few to actually belong.”
Brit Bennett, The Vanishing Half

“I'm a starfish,
taking up all the room I want.”
Lisa Fipps, Starfish

Cath Crowley
“Words matter, in fact. They're not pointless, as you've suggested. If they were pointless, then they couldn't start revolutions and they wouldn't change history. If they were just words, we wouldn't write songs or listen to them. We wouldn't beg to be read to as kids. If they were just words, then stories wouldn't have been around since before we could write. We wouldn't have learned to write. If they were just words, people wouldn't fall in love because of them, feel bad because of them, ache because of them, and stop aching because of them." (p. 210) (Henry Jones)”
Cath Crowley, Words in Deep Blue

Kathleen Glasgow
“People film everything. We’re not even human, just a series of ten-second clips and likes/not likes.”
Kathleen Glasgow, You'd Be Home Now
