Elizabeth Strout
“It was the sudden memory of Jane Houlton in the waiting room that caused Olive to walk to the bed—the freedom of that ordinary banter, because Jack, in the doctor’s office, had needed her, had given her a place in the world.”
Elizabeth Strout, Olive Kitteridge

“Don’t let anyone shame you for your love of an imaginary friend. Religions have been founded on less.”
Duchess Goldblatt, Becoming Duchess Goldblatt

Pat Conroy
“As boys, we learn to betray our future wives by mastering the subtle ways our mothers can be broken by our petulance and disapproval. My own mother provided me with all the weaponry I will ever need to ruin the life of any woman foolish enough to love me.”
Pat Conroy, Beach Music

Fredrik Backman
“Amat is sitting in a corner, doing his very best imitation of an empty corner.”
Fredrik Backman, Beartown

Jojo Moyes
“I thought I could live as I wanted, long as I didn’t hurt nobody. But I’ve had time to think in here—and I worked it out. You don’t get to do that in Lee County, maybe not in the whole of Kentucky. Not if you’re a woman. You play by their rules or they . . . well, they squash you like a bug.”
Jojo Moyes, The Giver of Stars
