“Ilove having existential crises at bedtime, it’s so restful.”
― Naomi Novik, A Deadly Education

“A girl Lost in the woods is a different sort of creature than a girl who walks purposefully through the trees even though she does not know her way. This girl in the woods is not lost. She is exploring.”
― Erin Morgenstern, The Starless Sea

“The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little. —FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT”
― Kristin Hannah, The Four Winds

“It’s a lie, the first page of a book, because it masquerades as a beginning. A real beginning-the opening of something-when what you’re being offered is an arbitrary line in the sand. This story starts here. Pick a random event. Ignore whatever came before it or catch up later. Pretend the world stops when the book closes, or that a resolution isn’t simply another random moment on a curated timeline. But life isn’t like that, so books are dishonest. Maybe that’s why humans like them.”
― Holly Smale, Cassandra in Reverse
