― Margaret Atwood

“That is the “real” reader, the Dear Reader for whom every writer writes. And many Dear Readers will become writers in their turn. That is how we writers all started: by reading. We hear the voice of a book speaking to us.”
― Margaret Atwood, The Handmaid's Tale

“I think adults must get sort of worn away over time, like rocks out at sea, but remain who they are, just slower and grayer with those funny vertical wrinkles in front of their ears. But the young are a different shape from one week to the next. To know us is to run alongside us, like someone trying to shout through the window of a moving train.”
― Eve Chase, Black Rabbit Hall

“Every girl needs Paris.”
― Eve Chase, The Vanishing of Audrey Wilde
