“Books, she has found, are a way to live a thousand lives--or to find strength in a very long one.”
V.E. Schwab, The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue

“Brave people just bear up under their circumstances and do their best. There's a whole world of people out there, all trying to muddle through. And honestly I don't think heroes are worth more at the end of the day. Sometimes it takes greater courage to learn to live again when you think life's over, than it does to risk it in the first place."
The Light Between Worlds p 299”
Laura E Weymouth

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
“The only reason you say that race was not an issue is because you wish it was not. We all wish it was not. But it’s a lie. I came from a country where race was not an issue; I did not think of myself as black and I only became black when I came to America. When you are black in America and you fall in love with a white person, race doesn’t matter when you’re alone together because it’s just you and your love. But the minute you step outside, race matters. But we don’t talk about it. We don’t even tell our white partners the small things that piss us off and the things we wish they understood better, because we’re worried they will say we’re overreacting, or we’re being too sensitive. And we don’t want them to say, Look how far we’ve come, just forty years ago it would have been illegal for us to even be a couple blah blah blah, because you know what we’re thinking when they say that? We’re thinking why the fuck should it ever have been illegal anyway? But we don’t say any of this stuff. We let it pile up inside our heads and when we come to nice liberal dinners like this, we say that race doesn’t matter because that’s what we’re supposed to say, to keep our nice liberal friends comfortable. It’s true. I speak from experience.”
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Americanah

Jim Henson
“Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and it may be necessary from time to time to give a stupid or misinformed beholder a black eye.”
Jim Henson

Neal Shusterman
“Well, she could learn self control tomorrow. Today she wanted pizza.”
Neal Shusterman, Scythe
