“frosting emergencies are just as real as other kinds of emergencies”
Mallory Ortberg, Texts from Jane Eyre: And Other Conversations with Your Favorite Literary Characters

Neil Gaiman
“We have an obligation to support libraries. To use libraries, to encourage others to use libraries, to protest the closure of libraries. If you do not value libraries then you do not value information or culture or wisdom. You are silencing the voices of the past and you are damaging the future.
We have an obligation to read aloud to our children. To read them things they enjoy. To read to them stories we are already tired of. To do the voices, to make it interesting, and not to stop reading to them just because they learn to read to themselves. Use reading-aloud time as bonding time, as time when no phones are being checked, when the distractions of the world are put aside.”
Neil Gaiman

Terry Pratchett
“It doesn't stop being magic just because you know how it works.”
Terry Pratchett, The Wee Free Men

Kate Jacobs
“Sometimes suffering is just suffering,” she told Gus. “It doesn't make you stronger. It doesn't build character. It only hurts.”
Kate Jacobs, Comfort Food

Terry Pratchett
“The stories never said why she was wicked. It was enough to be an old woman, enough to be all alone, enough to look strange because you have no teeth. It was enough to be called a witch. If it came to that, the book never gave you the evidence of anything. It talked about "a handsome prince"... was he really, or was it just because he was a prince that people called handsome? As for "a girl who was as beautiful as the day was long"... well, which day? In midwinter it hardly ever got light! The stories don't want you to think, they just wanted you to believe what you were told...”
Terry Pratchett, The Wee Free Men
