Vladimir Nabokov
“Knowing you have something good to read before bed is among the most pleasurable of sensations.”
Vladimir Nabokov

So when you enter those places of trust, or power, dream a little before you

Toni Morrison, The Source of Self-Regard: Selected Essays, Speeches, and Meditations

Kathryn Schulz, Lost & Found: A Memoir

“He's more myself than I am. Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same.”
Emily Brontë, Wuthering Heights

Michelle Zauner
“I remember these things clearly because that was how my mother loved you, not through white lies and constant verbal affirmation, but in subtle observations of what brought you joy, pocketed away to make you feel comforted and cared for without even realizing it.”
Michelle Zauner, Crying in H Mart
