Book cover for The Keeper of Magical Things
“Don’t say that you’re not important. Don’t make yourself smaller than you are. Other people will always try to do so, but don’t do it for them. You are important. And you belong there as much as anyone does.”

Sarah Addison Allen
“You are who you are, whether you like it or not, so why not like it?”
Sarah Addison Allen, Garden Spells

Tom Robbins
“Modern Romans insisted that there was only one god, a notion that struck Alobar as comically simplistic. Worse, this Semitic deity was reputed to be jealous (what was there to be jealous of if there were no other gods?), vindictive, and altogether foul-tempered. If you didn't serve the nasty fellow, the Romans would burn your house down. If you did serve him, you were called a Christian and got to burn other people's houses down.”
Tom Robbins, Jitterbug Perfume

Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
“Anyone unable to understand how useful religion can be founded on lies will not understand this book either.”
Kurt Vonnegut, Cat’s Cradle

Stephanie Dray
“Kings and queens cry with family. Hide your grief from subjects and strangers.”
Stephanie Dray, Lily of the Nile

Amor Towles
“—I probably shouldn’t tell you this, I said.
—Kay-Kay, those are my six favorite words in the English language.”
Amor Towles, Rules of Civility
