    “I spent my life folded between the pages of books.
    In the absence of human relationships I formed bonds with paper characters. I lived love and loss through stories threaded in history; I experienced adolescence by association. My world is one interwoven web of words, stringing limb to limb, bone to sinew, thoughts and images all together. I am a being comprised of letters, a character created by sentences, a figment of imagination formed through fiction.”
    ― Tahereh Mafi, Shatter Me

    Chuck Palahniuk

    Well, get used to that feeling. That's how your whole life will feel some day.
    This is all practice.”
