Nicola Yoon
“He thinks my hair smells like spring rain. I'm really trying to remain stoic and unaffected. I remind myself that I don't like poetic language. I don't like poetry. I don't even like people who like poetry.
But I'm not dead inside either.”
Nicola Yoon, The Sun Is Also a Star

Nicola Yoon
“I kiss him to get him to stop talking. If he keeps talking I will love him, and I don't want to love him. I really don't. As strategies go, it's not my finest. Kissing is just another way of talking except without the words.”
Nicola Yoon, The Sun Is Also a Star

T.J. Klune
“See me. See me for who I am. I am magic. I am human. I am inhuman. See me. I am a boy. I am a girl. I am everything and nothing in between. See me. You do. You see me. You recoil in fear. You scream in anger. See me. I bleed. I ache. You see me, and you wish you hadn’t. You wish I was invisible. Out of sight, out of mind. Unseen, faded, muted. You want my color. You want my joy. You want a monochrome world with monochrome beliefs. You see me, and you want to take it all away. But you can’t. You want me lost, but I am found in the breaths I take, in the spaces between heartbeats. I am found because I refuse to be in black and white, or any shade of gray. I am color. I am fire. I am the sun, and I will burn away the shadows until only light remains. And then you will have no choice but to see”
T.J. Klune, Somewhere Beyond the Sea

Taylor Jenkins Reid
“Don't ignore half of me so you can fit me into a box. Don't do that.”
Taylor Jenkins Reid, The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo

Kristen Arnett
“Family are the people we choose to keep. And I'm choosing to let this one go, with love.”
