“Books, for me, are lifesaving. They have been my companions, my teachers, my entertainment, my emotional outlets, my escape. They’ve taught me how to cook, how to love, how to mourn, how to cope, and how to feel. They’ve allowed me to sort through my own feelings and escape into someone else’s.”
― Zibby Owens, Bookends: A Memoir of Love, Loss, and Literature

“when you scare off the Angel of Death, the Divine Plan calls for the kind of angels you can’t scare away;”

“I’m the sum of all of my experiences. I’m the culmination of a series of events that have allowed me to arrive at this moment. Even, quite possibly, driven me to this moment. I have controlled some, but most have led me. There is no other identical to what I have become. None. I am me.”
― Eric Jerome Dickey, Harlem
