“There was no changing Mark, or Jinx, or Cheyanne, or how the world worked. They were like chess pieces; they moved how the moved. If you wanted to win, you couldn't dwell on how you wished they would move, or how it would be fairer if they moved a different way. You had to adapt.”
― Rufi Thorpe, Margo's Got Money Troubles

“This is a conjuring trick, enabling Fitzgerald to have it both ways. The insufficiency of language becomes, in his hands, not a tragedy of human inarticulacy, but a romance of possibility.”
― Sarah Churchwell, Careless People: Murder, Mayhem, and the Invention of The Great Gatsby

“When you stay too long in a place, you forget just how big an expanse the world is. You get no sense of the length of those longitudes and latitudes. Just as, she supposed, it is hard to have a sense of the vastness inside any one person. But once you sense that vastness, once something reveals it, hope emerges, whether you want it to or not, and it clings to you as stubbornly as lichen clings to rock.”
― Matt Haig, The Midnight Library

“Love was not something, I realized, that came to you from outside. I had always thought that love was supposed to come from other people, and somehow, I was failing to catch the crumbs of it, failing to eat them, and I went around belly empty and desperate. I didn’t know the love was supposed to come from within me, and that as long as I loved others, the strength and warmth of that love would fill me, make me strong.”
― Rufi Thorpe, Margo's Got Money Troubles
