Luis Alberto Urrea
“Little Angel loved that expression...the old matriarch asserting herself in the faces of her children. All men had women inside of them – they just could not admit it.”
Luis Alberto Urrea, The House of Broken Angels

Luis Alberto Urrea
“He felt the burden of being their living witness. Somehow the silliest details of their days were, to him, sacred. And he believed that if only the dominant culture could see these small moments, they would see their own human lives reflected in the other.”
Luis Alberto Urrea, The House of Broken Angels

Lily King
“I squat there and think about how you get trained early on as a woman to perceive how others are perceiving you, at the great expense of what you yourself are feeling about them.”
Lily King, Writers & Lovers

Kristin Hannah
“There's no going back, Frankie. You have to find a way to go forward, become the new you. Fighting for who you were at twenty-one is a losing game. If that's what you've been trying for, no wonder you're struggling. The naive, idealistic girl who volunteered for war is gone. In a very real way, she died over there.”
Kristin Hannah, The Women

Liz    Moore
“If she believed in God, it was in one who functioned something like Louise in this moment: rooting for her charges from afar, mourning alongside them when they were rejected, celebrating every small victory that came their way. She noticed the lonely ones, the ones at the edge of the crowd; she felt in her heart a sort of wild affection for them, wanted to go to them, to stand next to them and pull them tightly to her side; and yet she knew that to intervene in this way would disrupt something sacred that - at twelve and thirteen and fourteen years old - they were learning about themselves and the world. And this, too, was how she thought of God.”
Liz Moore, The God of the Woods
