Jasmine Warga
“Anyone who has actually been that sad can tell you that there's nothing beautiful or literary or mysterious about depression.”
― Jasmine Warga, My Heart and Other Black Holes

Marlene Perez
“She was a soul-sucking vampire and I was a sixteen-year-old cheerleader, but I was damned if she was going to suck the life out of all my friends. High school was hard enough.”
― Marlene Perez, Dead Is the New Black

Whitney Gardner
“I wish people didn’t call them that. Trolls… They aren’t mythical creatures. You can’t look up how to defeat them in the Monster Manual. There are no critical hits, no saving rolls. They aren’t make-believe. They’re real. And they’re assholes.”
― Whitney Gardner, Chaotic Good

Jessica Spotswood
“Some things are worth the danger, aren’t they? I don’t believe anyone should be allowed to dictate what I read or who my friends are. It gives me pleasure t know that I can thwart the Brotherhood in some small way.”
― Jessica Spotswood, Born Wicked

Roy T. Bennett
“Attitude is a choice. Happiness is a choice. Optimism is a choice. Kindness is a choice. Giving is a choice. Respect is a choice. Whatever choice you make makes you. Choose wisely.”
― Roy T. Bennett, The Light in the Heart: Inspirational Thoughts for Living Your Best Life
