Quotes by Morgan Vega  (?)

“I know you're bi, regardless of the gender of the person who's lucky enough to be with you.”
Morgan Vega, Sleeping Around

“Doubt is the pinprick in the life raft.”
Ransom Riggs, Library of Souls

“He was a book, and he was holding his final pages, and he wanted to get to the end to find out how it went, and he didn't want it to be over.”
Maggie Stiefvater, The Raven King

“ANXIETY IS ITS OWN creature. Anxiety asks me to focus on the terrible things I’ve done. The people I’ve hurt. The promises I’ve broken. Anxiety tells me to make a list. Mistakes. Regrets. Lies. A litany of shortcomings, a coil tightened, ready to spring.”
Bassey Ikpi, I'm Telling the Truth, but I'm Lying: Essays – An Instant NYT Bestselling Memoir on Living with Anxiety

“Neither (brother) even glaced at the counter. She smiled. Her dumb brothers never cooked. She didn’t think they even knew how! A human being who needs food to live but cannot prepare that food to eat? Pathetic. In this case, it was an advantage. They weren’t interested in any food until it had been cooked for them.”
Nnedi Okorafor, Akata Witch

“No one was my master— but I might be master of everything, if I wished. If I dared.”
Sarah J. Maas, A Court of Mist and Fury
