“The number of lives we are capable of living is limited only by the number of books we choose to read. —Ashlyn Greer, The Care & Feeding of Old Books”

“The people she had thought of as friends have faded to strangers who air their follies on Facebook. It’s only from a distance that she’s able to see how directionless that life was, how shallow. The realisation that there had been no two-way communication was sobering; everyone shouting about what they were doing, no one listening, just clicking like to confirm their own presence. Like a voyeur, she watches their lives spinning on without her, as they fall from one party to the next, always seeking, never finding.”
― Daisy O'Shea, Legend of the Selkie
