She doesn't read them, Miss Minchin; she gobbles them up as if she were a little wolf instead of a little girl.

― Frances Hodgson Burnett, A Little Princess

“Writing a first draft and reminding myself that I'm simply shoveling sand into a box so that later I can build castles.”

“Once upon a time there was a boy who loved a girl, and her laughter was a question he wanted to spend his whole life answering.”
― Nicole Krauss, The History of Love
