Ayushi Jain

“We’re all a collection of our stories, chérie. Our joys and sorrows. Our loves and losses. That is who we are, a tally of all our agonies and ecstasies. Sometimes the agonies leave a mark, like a bruise on the soul. We do our best to hide them from the world, and from ourselves too. Because we’re afraid of being fragile. Of being damaged. That’s what makes us kindred spirits, Rory—our bruises.”
― Barbara Davis, The Keeper of Happy Endings

“También de este lado hay sueños.”
― Jeanine Cummins, American Dirt

“So many think we must share the same beliefs to get along. In my experience, sharing the same fear is a far more effective strategy.”
― Lisa Gardner, Before She Disappeared

“if I could just have twenty seconds alone with younger, stupider me . . . But there are some mistakes you never get to take back. And there are some experiences there is no returning from.”
― Lisa Gardner, When You See Me
