“De liefde tussen mensen loopt zelden synchroon. Mensen vinden elkaar op verkeerde momenten, overtreden wetten en regels om de feiten alsnog naar hun hand te zetten, bagatelliseren de gevolgen van ontrouw, ontkennen de overmijdelijke pijn waarmee afscheid gepaard gaat.”
― Josha Zwaan, Zeevonk

“It was like being born in Germany after World War II, being from Japan after Pearl Harbor, or America after Hiroshima. History was a bitch sometimes. You couldn't change where you were from. But still, you didn't have to stay there.”
― Kami Garcia, Beautiful Creatures

“Old books exert a strange fascination for me -- their smell, their feel, their history; wondering who might have owned them, how they lived, what they felt.”
