Perhaps they've been trusted with some major cosmic task, an essential law of physics - such as: if there are less than 5 million cats sleeping at any one time the world will stop spinning.

“For some of us, books are as important as almost anything else on earth. What a miracle it is that out of these small, flat, rigid squares of paper unfolds world after world after world, worlds that sing to you, comfort and quiet or excite you.

― Anne Lamott, Bird by Bird

― Melissa Albert, The Hazel Wood

“I don't get nearly enough credit in life for the things I manage not to say.”
― Meg Rosoff, How I Live Now
