Yorin

“She never managed to find herself in these books no matter how hard she tried, exhuming traits from between the pages and donning them for an hour, a day, a week. We think in some ways, we have all done this our whole lives, searching for the book that will give us the keys to ourselves, let us into a wholly formed personality as though it were a furnished room to let. As though we could walk in and look around and say to the gray-haired landlady behind us, "We'll take it.”
― Eleanor Brown, The Weird Sisters

“Let us read, and let us dance; these two amusements will never do any harm to the world.”
― Voltaire

“in the day after humans disappear, nature takes over and immediately begins cleaning house - our houses.”
― Alan Weisman, The World Without Us

“A person's a person, no matter how small.”
― Dr. Seuss, Horton Hears a Who!
