“Out in the open field of flowers, I could feel the sun and see how every golden blossom faced the light... I knew that if I stayed there long enough, the flowers would follow the path of the sun across the sky. It seemed like they knew what they were doing, and at least for a little while, I wanted to be part of that.”
― Kimberly Sabatini, Touching the Surface

“It’s just... everything. There are too many people. And I don’t fit in. I don’t know how to be. Nothing that I’m good at is the sort of thing that matters there. Being smart doesn't matter—and being good with words. And when those things do matter, it’s only because people want something from me. Not because they want me.”
― Rainbow Rowell, Fangirl

“Sometimes poetry--words--give us a small, lovely look at ourselves. And sometimes that is enough.”
― Patricia MacLachlan, Baby
