“If there's a feeling to home, it's this. A place where there are no secrets, where nothing stays buried; not the past and not yourself. Where you can be all the versions of you, see it all reflected back at you as you walk the same stairs, the same halls, the same rooms. Feel the ghost of your mother as you sit at the kitchen table, hear the words of your father circling round and round after dinner, and your brother stopping by, wishing you'd be a little better, a little stronger.... It's four walls echoing back everything you've ever been and everything you've ever done, and it's the people who stay despite it all. Through it all. For it all.”
― Megan Miranda, All the Missing Girls

“If I want more than sex from this girl, I’ll have to fight for it. And I’ve never lost a fight.”
― Kelley R. Martin, Down and Out

“The darkness lives in everyone. She knew this better than anyone. Everyone had two faces, and she looked deep into us until she found it.”
― Megan Miranda, All the Missing Girls

“She had begun to wonder why she had never seemed to belong to anyone”
― Frances Hodgson Burnett, The Secret Garden
