L.M. Montgomery
“You'd find it easier to be bad than good if you had red hair," said Anne reproachfully. "People who haven't red hair don't know what trouble is.”
Lucy Maud Montgomery, Anne of Green Gables

Jeannette Walls
“I wanted to let the world know that no one had a perfect life, that even the people who seemed to have it all had their secrets.”
Jeannette Walls, The Glass Castle

Rachel Simon
“And Lynnie understood. There were two kinds of hope: the kind you couldn't do anything about and the kind you could. And even if the kind you could do something about wasn't what you'd originally wanted, it was still worth doing. A rainy day is better than no day. A small happiness can make a big sadness less sad.
p 313

"The sky was crying outside, and as she watched the drops come down, she thought: A rainy day can actually be a very important day. And a small hope isn't really small if it makes a lost hope less sad."
p 318

Lynnie about the lost hope of finding Homan, the hope of seeing the lighthouse/connecting with her daughter and how selling her art work was doing something about it.”
Rachel Simon, The Story of Beautiful Girl

Brian Selznick
“Maybe that's why a broken machine always makes me a little sad, because it isn't able to do what it was meant to do...Maybe it's the same with people," Hugo continued. "If you lose your purpose...it's like your broken.”
Brian Selznick, The Invention of Hugo Cabret

Gretchen Rubin
“What you do every day matters more than what you do once in a while.”
Gretchen Rubin, The Happiness Project
