“I keep reciting your poetry prescription - I've read that Rilke poem so many times now, I know it by heart. I'm sure I'm not telling you anything you don't already know, but for someone who has never really understood poetry, I want you to know that I finally see what the big deal is. Poems are like the eau de parfum to the eau de cologne of a novel; you don't need nearly as many words to have such a powerful impact”
― Siobhan Curham, The Paris Network

“You cannot survive this and live a dead life.”
― Vanessa Chan, The Storm We Made

“But buying a book is like choosing a friend or, if I may be so bold in spite of having tragically little experience, a lover. They're all so different. You have to be certain it's the right match before you can take it home”
― Siobhan Curham, The Paris Network

“Nursing was like being under a spell: you went in very young and came out older than any span of years could make you.”
― Emma Donoghue, The Pull of the Stars
