That perches in the soul
And sings the tune without the words
And never stops at all.”
― Emily Dickinson

“I like to see people reunited, I like to see people run to each other, I like the kissing and the crying, I like the impatience, the stories that the mouth can't tell fast enough, the ears that aren't big enough, the eyes that can't take in all of the change, I like the hugging, the bringing together, the end of missing someone.”
― Jonathan Safran Foer, Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close

“When I look at my room, I see a girl who loves books.”
― John Green, Looking for Alaska

“It was the last time she’d see the river from that window. The last time of anything has the poignancy of death itself. This that I see now, she thought, to see no more this way.

― Betty Smith, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn
