“Being able to see; being able to hold a book; being able to turn its page; being able to maintain a reading posture; being able to go to a bookshop to buy a book - I loathed the exclusionary machismo of book culture that demanded that its participants meet these five criteria of able-bodiedness. I loathed, too, the ignorant arrogance of all those self-professed book-lovers so oblivious to their privilege.”
― Saou Ichikawa, Hunchback

“Always be quiet when a heart is breaking.”
― Meg Shaffer, The Wishing Game

“Sometimes you risk everything for a life worth living, even if you're not the one that'll be alive to see it.”
― Cherie Dimaline, The Marrow Thieves

“We can only live by the light we're given, and some of us are given no light at all. What else can we do except learn to see in the dark?”
― Sunyi Dean, The Book Eaters
