“Fiction has the incredible power to put readers into the lives and minds of characters whose backgrounds and natures are nothing like theirs, and create an empathy and understanding that readers can take into the real world.”
― Cheryl B. Klein, The Magic Words: Writing Great Books for Children and Young Adults

“A book is one of the most patient of all man's inventions. Centuries mean nothing to a well-made book. It awaits its destined reader, come when he may, with eager hand and seeing eye. Then occurs one of the great examples of union, that of a man with a book, pleasurable, sometimes fruitful, potentially world-changing, simple; and in a public library...without cost to the reader.”
― Lawrence Clark Powell

“The insufferable arrogance of human beings to think that Nature was made solely for their benefit, as if it was conceivable that the sun had been set afire merely to ripen men's apples and head their cabbages.”
― Cyrano de Bergerac

“Life wasn’t about avoiding suffering.”
― Paul Kalanithi, When Breath Becomes Air
