“Running away was not like it was in stories. People did not try and stop you. They did not give chase. The thing people didn't understand was that you had to decide what you were running away from. Most of the time it wasn't mothers or fathers or monsters or villains; most of the time you were running away from that little voice inside your head, the one telling you to stay where you are, that everything will turn out all right.”
― Robert Dinsdale, The Toymakers

“I learned that writing is the consolation prize you are given when you don’t get the thing you want the most.”

“Your first love isn't the first person you give your heart to- it's the first one who beaks it.”
