Jandy Nelson
“Our tongues have fallen madly in love and gotten married and moved to Paris.”
Jandy Nelson, The Sky Is Everywhere

Markus Zusak
“When death captures me,' the boy vowed, 'he will feel my fist on his face.'

Personally, I quite like that. Such stupid gallantry.

Yes.

I like that a lot.”
Markus Zusak, The Book Thief

Jennifer Egan
“I'm always happy," Sasha said. "Sometimes I just forget.”
Jennifer Egan, A Visit from the Goon Squad

Truman Capote
“Poor slob without a name. It's a little inconvenient, his not having a name. But I haven't the right to give him one: he'll have to wait until he belongs to somebody. We just sort of took up by the river one day, we don't belong to each other: he's an independent, and so am I. I don't want to own anything until I know I've found the place where me and things belong together.”
Truman Capote, Breakfast at Tiffany’s and Three Stories

Jandy Nelson
“... if you're someone who knows the worst thing can happen at any time, aren't you also someone who knows the best thing can happen at any time too?”
Jandy Nelson, The Sky Is Everywhere
