Sonia Faleiro
“The story of Padma and Lalli revealed something more terrible still – That an Indian woman’s first challenge was surviving her own home”
Sonia Faleiro, The Good Girls: An Ordinary Killing

Matt Haig
“If we keep going in a straight line we'll get out of here. Walking one foot in front of the other, in the same direction, will always get you further than running around in circles. It's about the determination to keep walking forward.”
Matt Haig, The Comfort Book

Matt Haig
“External events are neutral. They only gain positive or negative value the moment they enter our minds. It is ultimately up to us how we greet these things. It’s not always easy, sure, but there is a comfort in knowing it is possible to view any single thing in multiple ways. It also empowers us, because we aren’t at the mercy of the world we can never control, we are at the mercy of a mind we can, potentially, with effort and determination, begin to alter and expand. Our mind might make prisons, but it also gives us keys.”
Matt Haig, The Comfort Book

Gabrielle Zevin
“This is what time travel is. It’s looking at a person, and seeing them in the present and the past, concurrently. And that mode of transport only worked with those one had known a significant time.”
Gabrielle Zevin, Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow

Gabrielle Zevin
“But it is worth noting that to be good at something is not quite the same as loving it.”
Gabrielle Zevin, Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow
