Book cover for The Skin and Its Girl

“When angels speak of love they tell us it is only by loving that we enter an earthly paradise. They tell us paradise is our home and love our true destiny.”
bell hooks, All About Love: New Visions

bell hooks
“But many of us seek community solely to escape the fear of being alone. Knowing how to be solitary is central to the art of loving. When we can be alone, we can be with others without using them as a means of escape.”
Bell Hooks, All About Love: New Visions

Alice Walker
“...have you ever found God in church? I never did. I just found a bunch of folks hoping for him to show. Any God I ever felt in church I brought in with me. And I think all the other folks did too. They come to church to share God, not find God.”
Alice Walker, The Color Purple

Virginia Woolf
“I am made and remade continually. Different people draw different words from me.”
Virginia Woolf, The Waves

Maggie Stiefvater
“One thousand brilliant stars punched holes in my consciousness, pricking me with longing. I could stare at the stars for hours, their infinite number and depth pulling me into a part of myself that I ignored during the day.”
Maggie Stiefvater, Shiver
