“Books saved me, and I ran away inside the stories I read as a child. They were the only place where I could run, and swim, and dance without fear of falling and not being able to get back up. Books were full of friends and adventures, whereas my real childhood was cold, and dark, and horribly lonely.”
― Alice Feeney, Daisy Darker

“But if I do know more than most, it's because I read. Books will teach you anything you want to know, and they tend to be more honest than people.”
― Alice Feeney, Daisy Darker
