“But no matter their [carousels] colors, the horses all go at the same speed as they circle round and round. They start together. They finish together, too. Nobody is first and nobody is last. Everyone is equal when you ride a carousel.”
Sharon Langley

“I remember you.” Three words, large enough to tip the world.”
V.E. Schwab, The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue

Kristin Hannah
“We were the last believers, my generation. We trusted what our parents taught us about right and wrong, good and evil, the American myth of equality and justice and honor. I wonder if any generation will ever believe again. People will say it was the war that shattered our lives and laid bare the beautiful lie we’d been taught. And they’d be right. And wrong. There was so much more. It’s hard to see clearly when the world is angry and divided and you’re being lied to.”
Kristin Hannah, The Women

“That time always ends a second before you’re ready.

That life is the minutes you want minus one.”
V.E. Schwab, The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue

Victoria Schwab
“art is about ideas. And ideas are wilder than memories. They're like weeds, always finding their way up.”
V.E. Schwab, The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue
