Tamora Pierce
“You look as scary as a buttered muffin.”
Tamora Pierce

Lauren Willig
“Quite definitely a Bingley”
Lauren Willig, The Mischief of the Mistletoe

Jill Paton Walsh
“The protagonist of folktale is always, and intensely, a young person moving through ordeals into adult life. . . . and this is why there are no wicked stepchildren in the tales.”
Jill Paton Walsh

Tamora Pierce
“A good friend will help you up when you fall. A best friend will laugh and try to trip you again.
- I'm not sure”
Tamora Pierce, The Immortals

Elizabeth Gilbert
“Instructions for freedom":
1. Life's metaphors are God's instructions.
2. You have just climbed up and above the roof, there is nothing between you and the Infinite; now, let go.
3. The day is ending, it's time for something that was beautiful to turn into something else that is beautiful. Now, let go.
4. Your wish for resolution was a prayer. You are being here is God's response, let go and watch the stars came out, in the inside and in the outside.
5. With all your heart ask for Grace and let go.
6. With all your heart forgive him, forgive yourself and let him go.
7. Let your intention be freedom from useless suffering then, let go.
8. Watch the heat of day pass into the cold night, let go.
9. When the Karma of a relationship is done, only Love remains. It's safe, let go.
10. When the past has past from you at last, let go.. then, climb down and begin the rest of your life with great joy.”
Elizabeth Gilbert, Eat, Pray, Love
