Nora Ephron
“Reading is escape, and the opposite of escape; it's a way to make contact with reality after a day of making things up, and it's a way of making contact with someone else's imagination after a day that's all too real.”
Nora Ephron

Maggie Stiefvater
“This object that we hold in our hands, a book…that tactile pleasure, it's just not going to go away.”
Maggie Stiefvater

Victor Hugo
“To put everything in balance is good, to put everything in harmony is better.”
Victor Hugo

Ernest Hemingway
“The world breaks everyone, and afterward, many are strong at the broken places.”
Ernest Hemingway
