“My to-be-read pile sadly would most likely outlive me - though I tried valiantly to catch up with it, I'd never get there. The allure of new books, new writers, characters who beckoned to me would never wane.”

“If people care about you, they won’t give up on you, no matter what you’ve done in the past or what you do in the future.

We aren’t programmed that way. We’re made to find hope in the most hopeless of places and in the people that seem the least likely to deserve it, because they really need it the most, and something in us knows that, at least subconsciously.

It’s what makes us human. No one is unworthy. Not even you. If people want to have faith in you, let them. And really, you can’t stop them. It’s not up to you.”
― Lindy Zart, Roomies

“P.S. Everybody screws up sometimes. Mistakes aren’t always deal–breakers.”
― Julie Cross, Letters to Nowhere

“My life is too lonely without fictional people crowding my mind.”
