Moonbook

“It’s been proven that people who read live longer. Are you trying to die young?”
― Colleen Hoover, Layla

“The air grew charged, heat gathering around them as if instead of starlight and moonbeams, he held all the brilliance of a dying star, engulfing her with the pull of his gravity.”
― Lori M. Lee, Color Outside the Lines

“These people are hurt, Mother. You understand pain, and you understand how to be kind. That's what they need.”
― Nalini Singh, Archangel's Sun

“But at what cost? I mean, don’t get me wrong: I would have given almost anything to be rid of that pain. Yet I have spent my year alternately living on a heating pad or getting tests. I have accomplished survival. I still have so many things “wrong” with my body, and I am tired of being poked and prodded. Perhaps none of this makes sense. Or perhaps it makes sense only if you live through it: the hope, the barrage of tests, the self-blame when your body still refuses to cooperate and just get better. There is a cost to pursuing miracle cures. It is a high cost.”
― Alice Wong, Disability Visibility: First-Person Stories from the Twenty-first Century
