“I am satisfied that if a book is a good one, it is so whatever the sex of the author may be. All novels are or should be written for both men and women to read, and I am at a loss to conceive how a man should permit himself to write anything that would be really disgraceful to a woman, or why a woman should be censured for writing anything that would be proper and becoming for a man.”
― Anne Brontë, The Tenant of Wildfell Hall

“Scrimgeour: "It's time you learned some respect!"
Harry: "It's time you earned it.”
― J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

“There is no exquisite beauty… without some strangeness in the proportion.”
― Edgar Allan Poe

“We cling to our fairy tales until the price for believing in them becomes too high.”
― Ransom Riggs, Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children
