“May you always be happy and may all your days be filled with beautiful words.”
Marjan Kamali, The Stationery Shop

Beth Brower, The Unselected Journals of Emma M. Lion: Vol. 5

Yaa Gyasi
“We believe the one who has power. He is the one who gets to write the story. So when you study history, you must ask yourself, Whose story am I missing? Whose voice was suppressed so that this voice could come forth? Once you have figured that out, you must find that story too. From there you get a clearer, yet still imperfect, picture.”
Yaa Gyasi, Homegoing

Kristin Hannah
“Alaska isn't about who you were when you headed this way. It's about who you become.”
Kristin Hannah, The Great Alone

Madeline  Martin
“Reading is...” His brows knit together and then his forehead smoothed as the right words appeared to dawn on him. “It’s going somewhere without ever taking a train or ship, an unveiling of new, incredible worlds. It’s living a life you weren’t born into and a chance to see everything colored by someone else’s perspective. It’s learning without having to face consequences of failures, and how best to succeed.” He hesitated. “I think within all of us, there is a void, a gap waiting to be filled by something. For me, that something is books and all their proffered experiences.”
Madeline Martin, The Last Bookshop in London
