“The girls I dream of are the gentle ones, wistful by high windows or singing sweet old songs at a piano, long hair drifting, tender as apple blossom. But a girl who goes into battle beside you and keeps your back is a different thing, a thing to make you shiver. Think of the first time you slept with someone, or the first time you fell in love: that blinding explosion that left you cracking to the fingertips with electricity, initiated and transformed. I tell you that was nothing, nothing at all, beside the power of putting your lives, simply and daily, into each other's hands.”
― Tana French, In the Woods

“It isn’t a sadness, but a joy, that we don’t do the same things for the length of our lives.”
― Gabrielle Zevin, Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow

“You can't just sashay into the jungle aiming to change it all over to the Christian style, without expecting the jungle to change you right back.”
― Barbara Kingsolver, The Poisonwood Bible

“I just need to pay my yearly overheads, get shit off my chest, and not compromise or prostitute myself spiritually.”
― Sinéad O'Connor, Rememberings
