“Two days later, when Adeline's father returns, he comes bearing a fresh pad of parchment, and a bundle of black lead pencils, bound with string, and the first thing she does is pick the best one, and sink it down into the ground behind their garden, and pray that the next time her father leaves, she will be with him. But if the gods hear, they do not answer. She never goes to the market again.”
V.E. Schwab, The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue

Madeline Miller
“Once when I was young, I asked what mortals looked like. My father said, "You may say that they are shaped like us, but only as the worm is shaped like the whale.”
Madeline Miller, Circe

“I don’t like knowing people in the context of things. "Oh, that’s the person I work out with. That’s the person I’m in a book club with. That’s the person I did that show with." Because once the context ends, so does the friendship”
Jennette McCurdy, I'm Glad My Mom Died

Madeline Miller
“The sky softened, opening over us like the ripe flesh of a fruit.”
Madeline Miller, Circe

“You need to change your measurement."
Chef looks up from his grading. "Excuse me?"
I point to the recipe. "Your measurement of salt in the recipe, we followed it exactly. So if the dish needs more salt, you need to change your measurement."
He raises an eyebrow and as we walk to our station, Richard elbows me in the ribs. "Seriously, Emoni? You couldn't just let it go?"
I don't answer. Call me salty.”
Elizabeth Acevedo, With the Fire on High
