“What if, for once in history, a woman's story could be untethered from what we need it to be in order to feel better about ourselves?”
― Lidia Yuknavitch, The Book of Joan

“We steal the happiness of others in order to be happy ourselves, and when it is stolen from us we voyage desperately to steal it back.”
― Daniel Handler, We Are Pirates

“Once you’ve held a book and really loved it, you forever remember the feel of it, its specific weight, the way it sits in your hand.”
― Erika Swyler, The Book of Speculation

“Do not expect too much from your child and she will grow in your love... But if you push her too much, you will push her away. A child is not yours to own but to raise. She may not be what you will have her to be, but she will be what she has to be. Remember what they say, that 'Wood may remain twenty years in the water, but it is still not a fish.”
― Jane Yolen, Sister Light, Sister Dark
