Book cover for Emma
Were I to fall in love, indeed, it would be a different thing! but I never have been in love; it is not my way, or my nature; and I do not think I ever shall.
Hannah M
This is honestly one of my favourite lines. I think it’s just so interesting and refreshing in a book published in 1815 to have your heroine declare she’s doesn’t think it’s in her nature to go around falling in love with people, despite the later plot of the book. I love Emma.

“There are so many pieces to a person. So many small stories and so few opportunities to read them. 'I would like to look at you' seems like such an awkward request.”
Erin Morgenstern, The Starless Sea

“A book is made of paper but a story is a tree.”
Erin Morgenstern, The Starless Sea

Sally Rooney
“Not for the first time Marianne thinks cruelty does not only hurt the victim, but the perpetrator also, and maybe more deeply and more permanently. You learn nothing very profound about yourself simply by being bullied; but by bullying someone else you learn something you can never forget.”
Sally Rooney, Normal People

Jane Austen
“This one half hour had given to each the same precious certainty of being beloved.”
Jane Austen, Emma

Erin Morgenstern
“A book is an interpretation," she says. "You want a place to be like it was in the book but it's not a place in a book it's just words. The place in your imagination is where you want to go and that place is imaginary. This is real.”
Erin Morgenstern, The Starless Sea
