“Once you know who you are you can let go of the things you crave and just be yourself.”
― Chloe Thurlow, Girl Trade

“The kiss is the greatest of gifts, uniquely human. A kiss before midnight. A kiss before dying. The Judas kiss. The kiss of the devil. A big wet smacker beneath the mistletoe. More can be said with a kiss than a book full of words. We kiss to say I love you. We kiss the rings of the self-important. The feet of the conquerors. The rich dark earth when we reach the promised land. We kiss babies' cheeks to soak up their innocence. We kiss the foreheads of loved ones as they begin a journey. We kiss beautiful strangers in far away places because on hot July nights with the music of the sea and the stars above your head your lips are incomplete until they are joined in a kiss.”
― Chloe Thurlow, Girl Trade

“let’s be honest: women are still only really valued for two things—their looks and their role as mothers.”
― Paula Hawkins, The Girl on the Train

“She made herself stronger by fighting with the wind.”
― Frances Hodgson Burnett, The Secret Garden
