“The thing about Shakespeare is you can only read his books if someone is making you.”
Gabrielle Zevin, Elsewhere

“But they fly. It is what fledged birds must do, and she's always known that. The nest can't always be full.”
Susan Fletcher, The Silver Dark Sea

Jojo Moyes
“Because she knew that something happened to you when your mother didn't hold you close, or tell you all the time that you were the best thing ever, or even notice when you were home: a little part of you sealed over. You didn't need her. You didn't need anyone. And without even knowing you were doing it, you waited. You waited for anyone who got close to you to see something they didn't like in you, something they hadn't initially seen, and to grow cold and disappear, too, like so much sea mist. Because there had to be something wrong, didn't there, if even your own mother didn't really love you?”
Jojo Moyes, One Plus One

Ronlyn Domingue
“Almost instinct, the way an animal knows the members of its pack, a baby knows her mother, two people flood with a mysterious urge to embrace as lovers.”
Ronlyn Domingue, The Mercy of Thin Air

Ronlyn Domingue
“There is a difference between compromise and compromising. One allows for negotiation. The other undermines who you are.”
Ronlyn Domingue, The Mercy of Thin Air
