“We’re all searching for a piece of home, or a piece of ourselves. We look for a taste of it in the food we order and the ingredients we buy. Then we separate.”
― Michelle Zauner, Crying in H Mart

“Those of us who have been deceived are made to feel stupid and embarrassed, although we have done nothing but have faith in someone who professed love.”
― Mary Turner-Thomson, The Bigamist: The True Story of a Husband's Ultimate Betrayal

“And when people stop focusing on their dreams they become lost in the maze of their minds, wandering around in endlessly repeating circles. Then the colours of life start to dull, and excitement starts to die. Until you’re trapped in a prison of your own making, looking out at life instead of living it.”
― Menna van Praag, Men, Money, and Chocolate

“For the true bookworm, life doesn’t really begin until you get hold of your first book. Until then – well, you’re just waiting, really. You don’t even know for what, at that stage – if you did, you would be making more noise about it and be less covered in court-shoe-shaped bruises. But it’s books.”
― Lucy Mangan, Bookworm: A Memoir of Childhood Reading
