Book cover for The Terror
Life is solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short. It has no plan, no point, no hidden mysteries that make up for the oh-so-obvious miseries and banalities.

Anthony Doerr
“A text—a book—is a resting place for the memories of people who have lived before. A way for the memory to stay fixed after the soul has traveled on.”
― Anthony Doerr, Cloud Cuckoo Land

Alice Hoffman
“Drink chamomile tea to calm the spirit. Feed a cold and starve a fever. Read as many books as you can. Always choose courage. Never watch another woman burn. Know that love is the only answer.”
― Alice Hoffman, Magic Lessons

James S.A. Corey
“There were so many variations of victory and loss.”
― James S.A. Corey, Persepolis Rising

Walter Tevis
“is foolish to run the risk of going mad for vanity’s sake.”
― Walter Tevis, The Queen's Gambit

Alice Hoffman
“Some stories begin at the beginning and others begin at the end, but all the best stories begin in a library.”
― Alice Hoffman, The Book of Magic
