Lion Feuchtwanger
“In itself it is nothing. Nothing but a book: parchment, colouring, ink. Yet the most perishable material is at the same time the most durable substance in the world…”
Lion Feuchtwanger, The Jew of Rome

Warsan Shire
“On the night of our secret wedding
when he held me in his mouth like a promise
until his tongue grew tired and fell asleep,
I lay awake to keep the memory alive.

In the morning I begged him back to bed.
Running late, he kissed my ankles and left.
I stayed like a secret in his bed for days
until his mother found me.

I showed her my gold ring,
I stood in front of her naked,
waved my hands in her face.
She sank to the floor and cried.

At his funeral, no one knew my name.
I sat behind his aunts,
they sucked on dates soaked in oil.
The last thing he tasted was me.”
Warsan Shire

Nicole Baart
“I decided right then and there that if home is where the heart is, my heart has been homeless for a very long time.”
Nicole Baart, The Moment Between

Chuck Palahniuk
“Sticks and stones may break your bones, but watch out for those damn words.”
Chuck Palahniuk, Lullaby

Alison Weir
“I steel myself to ignore his taunts and his coarse language. I no longer care what he says or does. It doesn't matter anymore. I am detached, contained in my own private world where he cannot reach me. It is my last refuge.”
Alison Weir, Innocent Traitor
