“I tried to take a deep breath and be British and brave, but it didn't work, and instead, the tears began. Masses of them. Where did tears like that come from and how did they get there so fast? Were they always there, just waiting for something awful to happen? What a horrible job they had.”
― A.J. Pearce, Dear Mrs. Bird

“You shouldn't let something that happened in the past stop you from having something that could be great in the present.”
― Katie Ganshert, The Art of Losing Yourself

“Human beings are momentary breaths in the midst of the hurricane of our circumstances,”
― Mario Escobar, Auschwitz Lullaby

“My mother never gave in. One of Father's friends had once said that if Mother had been in charge, the Great War would have been over by 1916. Father had replied that if my mother had been in charge, she would have made damn sure the bloody thing hadn't started in the first place. Mother always said it wasn't just about keeping going, but about standing up for what you believed in as well.”
