“She was used to being told not to ask questions. Adults didn’t like it. But she had always thought that they knew the answers and that they simply found it too irritating to supply them to a child on demand”
― Mark Lawrence, The Book That Wouldn’t Burn

“Also, librarians aren’t that good at math.”
― Annie Spence, Dear Fahrenheit 451: Love and Heartbreak in the Stacks

“Hurts don't stop, but they fade into shadows of what they were. That's sad. That something so vital, something that bit you so deep, can be eroded by time into a story that almost seems like it happened to someone else. Any hurt.”
― Mark Lawrence, The Book That Wouldn’t Burn

“People aren't either wicked or noble. They're like chef's salads, with good things and bad things chopped and mixed together in a vinaigrette of confusion and conflict.”
― Lemony Snicket, The Grim Grotto
