“I’m not just a reader, or a writer; I inhale written words like they’re my oxygen. It’s not a hobby. It’s a passion. People intrigue me. Life intrigues me. I see a story behind every set of eyes I meet, history in every voice. I’ll see someone wearing a smile and wonder what put it there. Words allow me to immerse myself in a whole other world. I get to become a different person.”
― Nicola Haken, Broken

“As Peter must’ve said a thousand times, broken crayons can still colour.”
― Nicola Haken, Broken

“Everything is stacked against us,” I say. “We’d be a tragedy, Felix. This wouldn’t work.”
― J. Daniels, The Tragedy of Felix and Jake

“Who knew grief could be so goddamned physical, a dark and sly trickster that blindsided you when you weren’t even thinking about loss, and suddenly you couldn’t get it out of your mind again.”
― Loreth Anne White, In the Dark
