“Old books, the kind that give off the smell of dust and decay, an odor Balastair associates with the scent of pure knowledge. Knowledge of new things. Knowledge of new places. Every book a doorway—a cabinet of curiosities opening to a new land.”
― Chuck Wendig, Blightborn

“If we had taken up this habit of kindness long ago, before we fell into darkness, what suffering might we have spared the world and ourselves?”
― Olivia Hawker, The Ragged Edge of Night

“A man of action acts. He doesn't talk or think. Doesn't repeat himself. Nope. Just acts. Is what he does. That's how you judge a man. Not by what he says but by what he does.”

“About fireworks?
About love. About how we often mistake love for fireworks - for drama and dysfunction. But real love is very quiet, very still. It's boring, if seen from the perspective of high drama. Love is deep and calm - and constant. I imagine you do give Kathy love - in the true sense of the word. Whether or not she is capable of giving it back to you is another question.”
― Alex Michaelides, The Silent Patient
