Book cover for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Harry Potter, #7)
Albus Dumbledore was never proud or vain; he could find something to value in anyone, however apparently insignificant or wretched, and I believe that his early losses endowed him with great humanity and sympathy.

“I believe that most small towns wear two faces: a public one comprised of verifiable facts involving historical timelines, demographics, matters of economy and geography; and a hidden, considerably more private face formed by a fragile spiderweb of stories, memories, rumors, and secrets passed down from generation to generation, whispered by those who know the town best.”
Richard Chizmar, Chasing the Boogeyman

“IF MENOPAUSE WERE ON YELP it would have one star.”
Jennifer Gunter, The Menopause Manifesto: Own Your Health with Facts and Feminism

Christopher Moore
“A wall is the defense of a country that values inaction. But a wall imprisons the people of a country as much as it protects them.”
Christopher Moore, Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ’s Childhood Pal

“During the darkest days, a saying took hold in Kansas: “there is no god west of Salina.”
Caroline Fraser, Prairie Fires: The American Dreams of Laura Ingalls Wilder

Fredrik Backman
“A long marriage is complicated. So complicated, in fact, that most people in one sometimes ask themselves: 'Am I still married because I'm in love, or just because I can't be bothered to let anyone else get to know me this well again?”
Fredrik Backman, Beartown
