Jodi Picoult
“I think grief is like a really ugly couch. It never goes away. You can decorate around it; you can slap a doily on top of it; you can push it to the corner of the room—but eventually, you learn to live with it.”
Jodi Picoult, Leaving Time

Jojo Moyes
“Real friends were the kind where you pick up where you’d left off, whether it be a week since you’d seen each other or two years.”
Jojo Moyes, One Plus One

Fredrik Backman

Fredrik Backman, A Man Called Ove

E.E. Cummings
“deeds cannot dream what dreams can do

but love is the sky and i am for you
just so long and long enough”
ee Cummings

Erin Morgenstern

Erin Morgenstern, The Starless Sea
