Book cover for These Toxic Things
“Because in a relationship,” Mom said, taking the scenic route, “there can only be one flower and one gardener. You, Michaela Lambert, are the flower. Not that fucker.”
Laura
This quote, I think, perfectly sums up why the protagonist is so, so unlikeable.

C.S. Lewis
“You can never get a cup of tea large enough or a book long enough to suit me.”
C.S. Lewis

Christopher  Morley
“When you sell a man a book you don’t sell him just twelve ounces of paper and ink and glue—you sell him a whole new life. Love and friendship and humour and ships at sea by night—there’s all heaven and earth in a book, a real book I mean.”
Christopher Morley, Parnassus on Wheels

Edith Wharton
“In spite of illness, in spite even of the archenemy sorrow, one can remain alive long past the usual date of disintegration if one is unafraid of change, insatiable in intellectual curiosity, interested in big things, and happy in small ways.”
Edith Wharton

Michael Pollan
“Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants.”
Michael Pollan, In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto

Jane Austen
“[I]t is well to have as many holds upon happiness as possible.”
Jane Austen, Northanger Abbey
