Jen Jen said: " I tried reading this book several times and never got in to it before finally picking up the audiobook and managing to finish it.

The audiobook is a bit weird - it's a full-cast production but only for a few chapters. 75% of the book is read by the ma

Jim  Butcher
“There’s power in the touch of another person’s hand. We acknowledge it in little ways, all the time. There’s a reason human beings shake hands, hold hands, slap hands, bump hands.

“It comes from our very earliest memories, when we all come into the world blinded by light and color, deafened by riotous sound, flailing in a suddenly cavernous space without any way of orienting ourselves, shuddering with cold, emptied with hunger, and justifiably frightened and confused. And what changes that first horror, that original state of terror?

“The touch of another person’s hands.

“Hands that wrap us in warmth, that hold us close. Hands that guide us to shelter, to comfort, to food. Hands that hold and touch and reassure us through our very first crisis, and guide us into our very first shelter from pain. The first thing we ever learn is that the touch of someone else’s hand can ease pain and make things better.

“That’s power. That’s power so fundamental that most people never even realize it exists.”
Jim Butcher, Skin Game

Neil MacGregor
“It is, as we know, the victors who write the history, especially when only the victors know how to write.”
Neil MacGregor, A History of the World in 100 Objects

Patrick Rothfuss
“Today,' Elodin said brightly, 'we will talk about things that cannot be talked about. Specifically, we will discuss why some things cannot be discussed.”
Patrick Rothfuss, The Wise Man's Fear

Angie Thomas
“What's the point of having a voice if you're gonna be silent in those moments you shouldn't be?”
Angie Thomas, The Hate U Give

D.B.C. Pierre
“Don’t be lookin up at no sky for help. Look down here, at us twisted dreamers.”
D.B.C. Pierre
