“Real women are happy, fat, skinny, healthy, unhealthy, dumb, and smart.”
― Trisha Paytas, Curvy and Loving it

“changes are so frightening.”
― Norton Juster, The Phantom Tollbooth: The classic adventure book full of unexpected thrills

“I write books that I want to read. I write books that feature curvy heroines because I'm a curvy woman myself and it gets tiresome to read books about skinny women all the time. There's nothing wrong with skinny women, I just don't relate to their lives, and it would be really hard for me, as a writer, to fully inhabit that character otherwise.”
― Seraphina Donavan

“I wasn't aware until this precise and awkward moment that when startled in a strange place, my instincts would have me pretend to be a ninja.”
― Shannon Hale, Austenland
