― Lauren Oliver, Rooms

“Music, I'd heard him say, was like dessert. He could live without it, but life just wasn't as good.”

“You humans are always locking each other away. Cells. Dungeons. Some of your earliest jails were sewers, where men sloshed in their own waste. No other creature has this arrogance—to confine its own. Could you imagine a bird imprisoning another bird? A horse jailing a horse? As a free form of expression, I will never understand it. I can only say that some of my saddest sounds have been heard in such places. A song inside a cage is never a song. It is a plea.”
― Mitch Albom, The Magic Strings of Frankie Presto

“You only need one ray of light to chase all the shadows away,”
― Fredrik Backman, A Man Called Ove
