“Swamps where cedars grow and turtles wait on logs but not for anything in particular; fields bordered by crooked fences broken by years of standing still; orchards so old they have forgotten where the farmhouse is.

― E.B. White, Stuart Little

― John Green, The Fault in Our Stars

“The face of a golden retriever feels like home.”
