Mimi

“I miss the Stella girls telling me what I am. That I'm sweet and placid and accommodating and loyal and nonthreatening and good to have around. And Mia. I want her to say, "Frankie, you're silly, you're lazy, you're talented, you're passionate, you're restrained, you're blossoming, you're contrary."

I want to be an adjective again. But I'm a noun.

A nothing. A nobody. A no one.”
― Melina Marchetta, Saving Francesca

“Comfort zones are overrated. They make you lazy.”
― Melina Marchetta, Saving Francesca

“As I go to bed, I think how awful it would be to die in the middle of reading a good novel.”
― Valérie Perrin, Cambiare l'acqua ai fiori

“I am sorry. I did not see you. Normally you are lurking in the corners or skulking in the shadows, not standing in plain sight."

"I never skulk, and lurk only sometimes.”
― Robin LaFevers, Mortal Heart
