“About your easy heads my prayers
I said with syllables of clay.
What gift, I asked, shall I bring now
Before I weep and walk away?

Take, they replied, the oak and laurel.
Take our fortune of tears and live
Like a spendthrift lover. All we ask
Is the one gift you cannot give.”
― Tana French, In the Woods

“Gambling is throwing money away," Emily said. "Spending hundreds of dollars on clothes you'll never wear is throwing money away. Buying books is an investment in the future."

"Emily's right," Nina said. "Where there are books, there's hope. I have stacks of novels I haven't gotten to yet. It's the best reason to go on living I can think of.”
