“If I cannot be better than them, I will become so much worse.”
― Holly Black, The Cruel Prince

“My memory begins with my anger.”
― Jacqueline Harpman, I Who Have Never Known Men

“I spent my life folded between the pages of books.
In the absence of human relationships I formed bonds with paper characters. I lived love and loss through stories threaded in history; I experienced adolescence by association. My world is one interwoven web of words, stringing limb to limb, bone to sinew, thoughts and images all together. I am a being comprised of letters, a character created by sentences, a figment of imagination formed through fiction.”
― Tahereh Mafi, Shatter Me

“True love is usually the most inconvenient kind.”
― Kiera Cass, The Selection
