“Books don't change lives... People change lives... Sometimes, if you're lucky, if you get the thing right, a book can say some important things and that's all fine and good... but a book is just an artifact... a thing that sits on a desk or a shelf... People make the real difference... People and love...”
― Adam Rapp, Decelerate Blue

“What's the point of flinching? Whatever is coming comes anyway.”
― Meredith Miller

“You want to know how to navigate life? Don't live and die by the beliefs you had when you were young. Everything changes, that's what you learn when you've lived as long as I have. The worst crime you can do to yourself is to forget why you chose the path you're on, but keep walking down it anyways.”
― Stephanie Oakes, The Arsonist

“Death row is a place for broken people
just like Tom Hanks.
They can't be fixed,
warped all out of shape
by the cracks and splinters inside them.

And what else can you do with stuff that's broken
except throw it in the trash?

Right?”
― Sarah Crossan, Moonrise
