Susanna Clarke
“One should be patient with saints, I suppose. Though the trouble with being patient,” she said, “is that, generally speaking, there’s no one to see you doing it.”
Susanna Clarke, The Wood at Midwinter

John  Green
“It reminded me, that when we know about suffering, when we are proximal to it, we are capable of extraordinary generosity. We can do and be so much for each other. But only when we see one another in our full humanity. Not as statistics or problems, but as people who deserve to be alive in the world.”
John Green, Everything Is Tuberculosis: The History and Persistence of Our Deadliest Infection

Sangu Mandanna
“Danger rarely wore a monstrous face and a wielded a pitchfork. No, danger came most often in the form of nice people whose niceness only went so deep, who saved their niceness for people exactly like them, who believed they were more deserving of power and respect than anyone who was a little bit different.”
Sangu Mandanna, The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches

Heather Fawcett
“Assassins are a monstrous breed. Either they attack when you are at your worst, or they are having a go at you on your birthday. I have never known a more dishonourable profession.”
Heather Fawcett, Emily Wilde’s Map of the Otherlands

Rebecca   Ross
“It takes courage to let down your armor, to welcome people to see you as you are. Sometimes I feel the same as you: I can’t risk having people behold me as I truly am. But there’s also a small voice in the back of my mind, a voice that tells me, “You will miss so much by being so guarded.”
Rebecca Ross, Divine Rivals
