“I spent my life folded between the pages of books.
In the absence of human relationships I formed bonds with paper characters. I lived love and loss through stories threaded in history; I experienced adolescence by association. My world is one interwoven web of words, stringing limb to limb, bone to sinew, thoughts and images all together. I am a being comprised of letters, a character created by sentences, a figment of imagination formed through fiction.”
― Tahereh Mafi, Shatter Me

“A reminder that there are things in life so valuable that you must risk the pain of losing them for the joy of briefly having them.”

“Romance is the glamour which turns the dust of everyday life into a golden haze. ”
