“I don't think you realize how strong you are, because sometimes strength isn't swords and steel and fire, as we are so often made to believe. Sometimes it's found in quiet, gentle places.”
― Rebecca Ross, Divine Rivals

“Kindness is something that seems small, Daunis, but it's like tossing a pebble into a pond and the ripples reach further than you thought.”
― Angeline Boulley, Firekeeper’s Daughter

“Late into the night I write and the pages of my notebook swell from all the words I’ve pressed onto them.
It almost feels like the more I bruise the page the quicker something inside me heals.”
