Louise Penny
“Where there is love there is courage,
where there is courage there is peace,
where there is peace there is God.
And when you have God, you have everything.”
Louise Penny, The Brutal Telling

Emma Straub
“Astrid was surprised they still taught J. D. Salinger in school—he had slept with a teenager, hadn’t he? They should just be reading Toni Morrison. It seemed so easy, to cut out the creeps and sexual predators, just by cutting out all the men. Sure, you’d lose some decent people, but the net result would be so positive, who would complain?”
Emma Straub, All Adults Here

“Many years ago, everybody here would wake early because there was much to do and only so many hours in the day. Now they wake early because there is much to do and only so many days left.”
Richard Osman, The Thursday Murder Club

Louise Penny
“The four sayings that lead to wisdom:
I was wrong
I'm sorry
I don't know
I need help”
Louise Penny

“In life you have to learn to count the good days. You have to tuck them in your pocket and carry them around with you. So I’m putting today in my pocket and I’m off to bed.”
Richard Osman, The Thursday Murder Club
