Victoria Schwab
“Because time is cruel to all, and crueler still to artists. Because visions weakens, and voices wither, and talent fades.... Because happiness is brief, and history is lasting, and in the end... everyone wants to be remembered”
V.E. Schwab, The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue

Ann Napolitano
“So much could be solved, she thinks, if we simply held hands with each other more often.”
Ann Napolitano, Dear Edward

V.E. Schwab
“What is a person, if not the marks they leave behind?”
V.E. Schwab, The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue

Andrew Krivak
“But I miss whom I once could touch, as all must do when we make our way through whatever forest or wood it is in which we travel or are raised. This does not mean the man is lost or has disappeared forever. For although he no longer walks beside you, he still remains in the time and place of memory and this is where he will appear again and again, as often as you will seek him. Not only in those places where he has always been but where he could not be then yet will be now.”
Andrew Krivak, The Bear

Sasha Sagan
“Every single one of us appears seemingly from nowhere and then, eventually, returns to nowhere. We are conceived, we grow, and we die, but what happens beyond that is a great, haunting mystery. We grapple with it by marking how and when things change here on Earth, both cyclically and permanently.”
Sasha Sagan, For Small Creatures Such as We: Rituals for Finding Meaning in Our Unlikely World
