"A few chapters into The Goldfinch and I’m drawn into the story. However, Theo’s voice feels unusually mature for a 13 year old, from studying Walt Whitman to reading Macbeth, his observations and descriptions often sound far older and more literary than I’d expect from someone his age." — May 19, 2026 02:44PM

Katrina_’s Quotes

“If you want to forget something or someone, never hate it, or never hate him/her. Everything and everyone that you hate is engraved upon your heart; if you want to let go of something, if you want to forget, you cannot hate.”

“Even if you cannot change all the people around you, you can change the people you choose to be around. Life is too short to waste your time on people who don’t respect, appreciate, and value you. Spend your life with people who make you smile, laugh, and feel loved.”
― Roy T. Bennett, The Light in the Heart: Inspirational Thoughts for Living Your Best Life

“Never lose hope. Storms make people stronger and never last forever.”
― Roy T. Bennett, The Light in the Heart: Inspirational Thoughts for Living Your Best Life

“Great minds discuss ideas. Average minds discuss events. Small minds discuss people.”
