― Sara Wolf, Find Me Their Bones

“I began to understand that we were born in order to see and listen to the world. And that's all this world wants of us. It doesn't matter that I was never a teacher or a member of the workforce, my life had meaning.”
― Durian Sukegawa, Sweet Bean Paste

“People love to say Heartless aren’t human. But to this day, I still wonder if they’re perhaps more human than the humans themselves.”
― Sara Wolf, Bring Me Their Hearts

“I don't think any of the things that happened are coincidence. I think life is a series of stepping stones that branch out in all different directions. We have no idea what path we're supposed to follow, so we tend to walk a straight line and follow the biggest stones, because that's the easiest thing to do. Coincidences are the smaller stones that lead you on a path that veers off. If you're brave enough, you follow those stones, and you wind up exactly where you're supposed to be.”
― Vi Keeland, The Invitation
