Boris Pasternak
“All mothers are mothers of great people, and it is not their fault that life later disappoints them.”
Boris Pasternak, Doctor Zhivago

Catherynne M. Valente
“Marriage is a wrestling match where you hold on tight while your mate changes into a hundred different things. The trick is that you're changing into a hundred other things, but you can't let go. You can only try to match up and never turn into a wolf while he's a rabbit, or a mouse while he's still busy being an owl, a brawny black bull while he's a little blue crab scuttling for shelter. It's harder than it sounds.”
Catherynne M. Valente, The Girl Who Soared Over Fairyland and Cut the Moon in Two

Nora Ephron
“Above all, be the heroine of your own life, not the victim.”
Nora Ephron

LeVar Burton
“For me, literacy means freedom. For the individual and for society.”
LeVar Burton

J.R.R. Tolkien
“But perhaps you could call her perilous because she's so strong in herself. You , you could dash yourself to pieces on her, like a ship on a rock, or drown yourself, like a Hobbit in a river, but neither rock nor river would be to blame.”
J.R.R. Tolkien, The Two Towers
