John Green
“Maybe you don't choose what's in the picture, but you decide on the frame.”
John Green, Turtles All the Way Down

Heather   Morris
“We stand in shit but let us not drown in it.”
Heather Morris, The Tattooist of Auschwitz

John Boyne
“Where do [writers] get [their] ideas? And the answer is that no one knows where the come from and nobody should know. They evolve in thin air, they float down from some mysterious heaven, and we reach and grab one, to grasp in our imagination, and to make it our own. One writer might overhear a conversation in a cafe and a whole novel will be built from that moment. Another might see an article in a newspaper and a plot will suggest itself immediately. Another might hear about an unpleasant incident that happened to a friend of a friend in a supermarket . . . .”
John Boyne, A Ladder to the Sky

A.J. Finn
“If there's one thing I've learned in all my time working with children, if I could whittle those years down to a single revelation, it's this: They are extraordinarily resilient. They can withstand neglect; they can survive abuse; they can endure, even thrive, where adults would collapse like umbrellas.”
A.J. Finn, The Woman in the Window

Lisa Jewell
“When I read a book it feels like real life and when I put the book down it's like I go back into the dream.”
Lisa Jewell, Then She Was Gone
