Marissa Meyer
“One to be a murderer. One to be a Martyr. One to be a Monarch. One to go Mad”
Marissa Meyer, Heartless

Eve Babitz
“Women want to be loved like roses. They spend hours perfecting their eyebrows and toes and inventing irresistible curls that fall by accident down the back of their necks from otherwise austere hair-dos. They want their lover to remember the way they held a glass. They want to haunt.”
Eve Babitz, Slow Days, Fast Company: The World, the Flesh, and L.A.

Cynthia Hand
“Armies aren’t very good about carrying libraries with them. I can’t imagine why. We’d fight so much less if everyone would just sit down and read.”

Gifford’s laugh rumbled through him, loud against her ear. “A question I often ask myself. Imagine how much money the realm would save if the rulers focused their finances on libraries, rather than wars.”

“Not if I were allowed to shop for books.”

“England would go bankrupt,” he said gravely. “Thank God for wars.”
Cynthia Hand, My Lady Jane

Cynthia Hand
“What my wife desires--and what you should have guessed, had you paid attention--is bookcases. And books, of course, to fill them. Not more decorations or useless items. She wants books.”
Cynthia Hand, My Lady Jane

Cynthia Hand
“She delighted in the smell of the ink, the rough feel of the paper between her fingers, the rustle of sweet pages, the shapes of letters before her eyes.”
Cynthia Hand, My Lady Jane
