“Stories like the ones we read in novels help us understand the human condition,” he said. “They teach us empathy. In that way, they’re more than an escape from the world. They’re an aid for living in the world. For being better, more compassionate people.”
― Mimi Matthews, The Belle of Belgrave Square

― Mimi Matthews, A Holiday by Gaslight
