Book cover for Agatha of Little Neon
It’s truer to say that we—or, I, at least—had come because we’d been told it was God’s plan, which a lot of the time has nothing to do with what you had in mind for yourself.

Shirley Jackson
“It was a fine April morning when I came out of the library; the sun was shining and the false glorious promises of spring were everywhere, showing oddly through the village grime. I remember that I stood on the library steps holding my books and looking for a minute at the soft hinted green in the branches against the sky and wishing, as I always did, that I could walk home across the sky instead of through the village.”
Shirley Jackson, We Have Always Lived in the Castle

“Promise me you'll always remember: You're braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.”
Carter Crocker

Sarah Ban Breathnach
“Life is not made up of minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, or years, but of moments. You must experience each one before you can appreciate it.”
Sarah Breathnach

Jo Walton
“If you love books enough, books will love you back.”
Jo Walton, Among Others

Paul Éluard
“Farewell Sadness
Hello Sadness
You are inscribed in the lines on the ceiling
You are inscribed in the eyes that I love
You are not poverty absolutely
Since the poorest of lips denounce you
Ah with a smile
Bonjour Tristesse
Love of kind bodies
Power of love
From which kindness rises
Like a bodiless monster
Unattached head
Sadness beautiful face.”
Paul Éluard, Selected Poems (A Calderbook, Cb435)
