Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley
“I do know that for the sympathy of one living being, I would make peace with all. I have love in me the likes of which you can scarcely imagine and rage the likes of which you would not believe. If I cannot satisfy the one, I will indulge the other.”
Mary Shelley, Frankenstein

Justina Ireland
“Take off that damned corset. We're going out to face down a horde, not to a ball."
"It's isn't a full corset; it's a half corset. It's the newest style. Besides Jane, the day I cannot take down a few shamblers wearing something fashionable is the day I turn in my rifle.”
Justina Ireland, Dread Nation

Kate Albus
“The first words of a new book are so delicious—like the first taste of a cookie fresh from the oven and not yet properly cooled.”
Kate Albus, A Place to Hang the Moon

Robin Wall Kimmerer
“What is the duty of humans? If gifts and responsibilities are one, then asking “What is our responsibility?” is the same as asking “What is our gift?” It is said that only humans have the capacity for gratitude. This is among our gifts.”
Robin Wall Kimmerer, Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge, and the Teachings of Plants

Kate DiCamillo
“To be brave is to not turn away. To be brave is to go forward. To be brave is to love.”
Kate DiCamillo, The Beatryce Prophecy
