Book cover for Taking A Chance
“This isn’t goodbye, only see you later. You’re my bestie for life, so our souls are bound to meet again. Our friendship has a forever time stamp.”

J.S. Jasper
“Jasmine,” Frankie replies, like she’s tasting the name on her tongue. The syllables sound different when she says them—less like a name and more like the first line of a story she very much wants to read.”
J.S. Jasper, Summer Breakdown

S.A. Cosby
“But time was a river made of quicksilver. It slipped through his grasp even as it enveloped him”
S.A. Cosby, Razorblade Tears

J.D. Salinger
“I don’t think it would have all got me quite so down if just once in a while—just once in a while—there was at least some polite little perfunctory implication that knowledge should lead to wisdom, and that if it doesn't, it's just a disgusting waste of time! But there never is! You never even hear any hints dropped on a campus that wisdom is supposed to be the goal of knowledge. You hardly ever even hear the word 'wisdom' mentioned!”
J.D. Salinger, Franny and Zooey

Armistead Maupin
“The hell of it is, I know the answer. The answer is that you never, ever, rely on another person for your peace of mind. If you do, you're screwed but good. Not right away, maybe, but sooner or later. You have to -- I don't know --you have to learn to live with yourself. You have to learn to turn back your own sheets and set a table for one without feeling pathetic. You have to be strong and confident and pleased with yourself and never give the slightest impression that you can't hack it without that certain goddamn someone. You have to fake the hell out of it.”
Armistead Maupin, More Tales of the City

Frederick Douglass
“Once you learn to read, you will be forever free.”
Frederick Douglass
