Shelly

“Whether or not [a] story has a happy ending depends, of course, on who is reading it. Whether you are a wolf or a girl. A girl or a monster or both. Not everyone in a story gets a happy ending. Not everyone who reads a story feels the same way about how it ends. And if you go back to the beginning and read it again, you may discover it isn't the same story you thought you'd read. Stories shift their shape.”
― Kelly Link

“Plenty of humans were monstrous, and plenty of monsters knew how to play at being human.”
― Victoria Schwab, Vicious

“In the end, all you want is someone to long for you when it comes time to put you in the ground.”
― Tea Obreht, The Tiger's Wife

“I am made and remade continually. Different people draw different words from me.”
― Virginia Woolf, The Waves
