Carley Fortune
“Whenever I'm home, I have the chance to get to know the city all over again.”
Carley Fortune, Meet Me at the Lake

“I never told him that, once a year, I went to an art fair in Bethesda and bought enough gifts for everyone we visited that would last a long time: soaps, pots, dishtowels, stationery sets.
I kept it all in a fabric box that sat at the top of the coat closet in our apartment, and every time we went to see anybody, stay with anybody, I'd take it down, grab some-thing, write a little note, stick it in a little bright-blue bag from a stash in the desk, and we'd leave.”
LindaHolmes

Richard Osman
“But the more you get to know Paul, the more you see that he is ambitious, just not for money. He is ambitious for happiness. For himself and others.”
Richard Osman, The Impossible Fortune

Richard Osman
“I feel guilty about one thing," says Paul. "To answer your original question, my grief is not as deep as it should be. I'm very sad about Holly, and it's awful, but am I grieving? I don't think I am. Perhaps it will kick in, but it doesn't feel like it will."
Joanna nods. "Were not in charge of who we miss. I had a dog I miss more than my grandmother, and, believe me, I loved my grandmother."
"A dog you had as a child?"
"Not even that: a neighbor's dog when I was in my thirties. We used to talk over the garden fence. He had wise eyes."
"Wow," says Paul. "Your poor grandmother."
Joanna nods. There really was something about that dog.”
Richard Osman, The Impossible Fortune

Lucy Knisley
“Hm... When you're young, it seems like you've got to choose one thing to do for your whole adult life - like you've got to pick one thing to be forever! It's not true. I love doing lots of things, and I'm always finding new things to love!”
Lucy Knisley, Sugar Shack
