“When something unjust happens, you should feel how aggravating it is. And then, after you’ve sat with those feelings for the appropriate amount of time—and it could be an hour, or a day, or months, depending on the severity of what happened—then, you can go back to a state of rest. Or joy. Or whatever.”
― Stephanie Foo, What My Bones Know: A Memoir of Healing from Complex Trauma

“This is what Ireland does. It calls her children home.”
― Amy Harmon, What the Wind Knows

“You see, there is no book that can please everyone. And if there were, it would be a bad book. You can’t be everyone’s friend, because everyone is different. You’d have to be completely lacking in personality, no rough edges or sharp corners. But even then, many people wouldn’t like you, because they need rough edges and sharp corners. … Every person needs different books. Because what one person loves with all their heart, might leave another completely cold.”
― Carsten Henn, The Door-to-Door Bookstore
