Meg Shaffer
“The fictional characters we love stamp their names on our hearts. They show us how to fight our battles, how to change, how to make it to page three hundred a different person than we were on page one.”
Meg Shaffer, The Book Witch

Sylvia Plath
“The hardest thing, I think, is to live richly in the present, without letting it be tainted & spoiled out of fear for the future or regret for a badly-managed past.”
Sylvia Plath

E. Nesbit
“All three had been taught French at school. How deeply they now wished that they had learned it!”
E. Nesbit, The Railway Children

Miriam Margolyes
“I realised then that life could get up and bite you – and now Covid has got up and bitten us all. I know that kindness and gentleness are the most valuable commodities. Now, more than ever, they demand distribution.”
Miriam Margolyes, This Much is True

Jonathan Edward Durham
“Life’s a funny thing, isn’t it? You spend it waiting for that one blinding moment of clarity … that one magic thread that sews it all together. And then one day, you wake up an older thing than you ever thought you’d be, and you realize you’ve wasted your days looking for something that was never really there at all. There are no solutions in this life, Eamon. There are only moments in the sun … and moments in the shade … and the trick of it all is to understand where you’re standing before it’s too late to call it home. I wish you peace in the fields beyond, because you will not find it here.”
Jonathan Edward Durham, Winterset Hollow
