“There is nothing like the smell of books to awaken the soul. It's the earthy, sometimes sweet scent of the calf's leather, the fatty glue on paper and ink. Anyone who loves books knows that smell. Breathes it. That particular perfume that invades and stays. The aroma of imagination, of knowledge waiting.”
― A.D. Bell

“If you stay, I promise to give you the best love story ever told, every day, for the rest of our lives. I was forced into the shadows, and I’ve made my home here. But I’ve only ever wanted to share a life with someone. Like my parents shared. The kind of love that consumes you in life and leaves you a shell when the other goes too soon. I used to feel sorry for my mother, but some days she gets to escape to a world where the love of her life still exists. He’s not just a phantom, he is her everything. I want to be that for you, with you. I want one love that survives this lifetime.”
― Greer Rivers, Phantom

“Maybe that's what love really is. Not soft edges and pretty promises, but a choice. A brutal, unwavering decision to be something more for the person who sees every ugly part of you and refuses to turn away.”
― Jazlyn Sparrow, THREE SCARS

“Life is random events. Books have to have some kind of arc and if only life followed that pattern it would be so much easier, wouldn’t it? If we all knew we had a purpose, or an end goal. A final chapter.”
― Jane Lovering, Happily Ever After
