― Rainbow Rowell, Fangirl

“Just back from canal ride on bike. Went really well until someone threw an egg at me from a bridge. Or maybe it was a bird which went into sudden labour.

― Helen Fielding, Mad About the Boy

“There is the past, and there is the future. The present is never more than the single second dividing one from the other.”
― Laini Taylor, Dreams of Gods & Monsters

“Everybody thinks that once you reach the top, you can lie back on a divan with a goddamn mai tai. No. Wrong. Success is not a mountain climb. Success is a treadmill.”
― Susan Jane Gilman, The Ice Cream Queen of Orchard Street
