“Being tender and open is beautiful. As a woman, I feel continually shhh’ed. Too sensitive. Too mushy. Too wishy washy. Blah blah. Don’t let someone steal your tenderness. Don’t allow the coldness and fear of others to tarnish your perfectly vulnerable beating heart. Nothing is more powerful than allowing yourself to truly be affected by things.”
― Zooey Deschanel

“Where there were books, there was always the temptation to open them.”
― Matt Haig, The Midnight Library

“I leave you my portrait so that you will have my presence all the days and nights that I am away from you.”
