“Just remember that sometimes, the way you think about a person isn’t the way they actually are.”
― John Green

“A book… it’s a world all on its own too. A world made of words, where you live for a while.”
― Patrick Ness, More Than This

“I tell me:

Let these words be footsteps, because I have a long way to travel. Let the words walk the dirty streets. Let them make their way across the crying grass. Let them stand and breathe and pant smoke in winter evenings. And when they're tired and have fallen down, let them buckle to their feet ad arc around me, watchful.

I want these words to be actions.

Give them flesh and bones, I say to me, and eyes of hunger and desire, so they can write and fight me through the night.”
― Markus Zusak, Getting the Girl

“All pain is the same. Only the details are different.”
― Kevin Powers, The Yellow Birds
