― Maggie Stiefvater, Call Down the Hawk

“It should be noted that I do not define my manhood through my love of women. There are lots of men who do so: their hunger to dominate feminine things, their power over their wives and daughters, are the building blocks of their maleness. That is not me. Yes, I could love a man if I ever found one who accepts me as I am, and I’ve dreamed of being so lucky—but I love women too. I love women as men are expected to, but the way only one who has ever experienced womanhood can.”
― Andrew Joseph White, The Spirit Bares Its Teeth

“We are all stardust and stories.”
― Erin Morgenstern, The Starless Sea
