“If a story does its job, it doesn’t ever end. Not really. But it can change. This is the nature of folktales. They shift to fit each teller. Take whatever form suits the bearer best. What begins as a story of sorrow can be acknowledged, held like a sweetheart to the chest, rocked and sung to. And then, it can be set down to sleep. It can become an offering. A lantern. An ember to lead you through the dark.”
― GennaRose Nethercott, Thistlefoot

“That’s how to read—like a butterfly. It flutters around aimlessly until suddenly it stumbles upon an uncharted paradise. Don’t listen to your teacher about what you should and shouldn’t have read. Never be arrogant about certain types of books. Be a butterfly!”
― Nina George, The Little Village of Book Lovers
