M.L. Stedman
“Mais comment? Comment fais-tu pour surmonter ça, mon chéri? lui avait-elle demandé. Tu as enduré tellement d'épreuves, mais tu es toujours content. Comment fais-tu?
-J'ai choisi de l'être, avait-il répondu. Je peux laisser ruiner mon passé, consacrer mon temps à haïr les gens pourc e qu'ils m'ont fait, comme mon père l'a fait, ou je peux pardonner et oublier.
-Mais ce n'est pas si facile."
Il avait sourit, de son sourire de Franck.
"Oui, mais, Trésor, c'est tellement moins fatigant; Il suffit de pardonner une fois. Tandis que la rancune, il faut l'entretenir à longueur de journée, et recommencer tous les jours. Il faudrait que je fasse une liste pour m'assurer que je hais bien tous ceux qui m'ont causé du tort. Non, avait-il ajouté, on a tous la possibilité de pardonner.”
M.L. Stedman, The Light Between Oceans

Max Nowaz
“You shall address me as ‘My Dearest’,’ he repeated in a mocking voice, trying to copy her tone. ‘You will forget all about this conversation when you leave this room.’ It was interesting that tone; it had a sort of hypnotising ring to it.”
Max Nowaz, The Three Witches and the Master

Michael Pollan
“The blessing of the omnivore is that he can eat a great many different things in nature. The curse of the omnivore is that when it comes to figuring out which of those things are safe to eat, he's pretty much on his own.”
Michael Pollan, The Omnivore's Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals

Rainbow Rowell
“Just... isn't giving up allowed sometimes? Isn't it okay to say, ‘This really hurts, so I’m going to stop trying’?”
“It sets a dangerous precedent.”
“For avoiding pain?”
“For avoiding life.”
Rainbow Rowell, Fangirl

Susan  Rowland
“There was no going back now. Rubber and metal could only take so much. The car could shatter and send its passengers into an elemental distillation of rock, flesh, blood, and ash. Alchemy, thought Mary, grimly. Too much bloody alchemy.”
Susan Rowland, The Alchemy Fire Murder
