Victoria Schwab
“Because time is cruel to all, and crueler still to artists. Because visions weakens, and voices wither, and talent fades.... Because happiness is brief, and history is lasting, and in the end... everyone wants to be remembered”
V.E. Schwab, The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue

Elizabeth Acevedo
“Fight until you can’t breathe, & if you have to forfeit, you forfeit smiling, make them think you let them win.”
Elizabeth Acevedo, Clap When You Land

Brittney Morris
“I want you to imagine for a minute,” she begins. “I know it’s going to be hard for both of you, but just imagine—that literally nothing was made for you. Your parents were denied a house because of their skin color, your grandparents were sprayed with fire hoses and ripped apart by dogs in the streets, your great-grandparents were housemaids and mammies and barely paid entertainers, and your great-great-grandparents were slaves. Every movie in your life is majority Black, all the characters in your favorite books have been cast darker in the movie adaptation for no reason, and every mistake you make is because of your skin color and because of “your background” and because of the music you listen to. You are the only white kids at a school of five hundred Blacks, and every Black person at that school asks you to weigh in on what it’s like to be white, or what white people think about this or that. It’s not fun.”
Brittney Morris, Slay

Angie Thomas
“You gotta love people enough to let them go, especially when you're the reason they're gone.”
Angie Thomas, Concrete Rose

Victoria Schwab
“Blink and you’re twenty-eight, and everyone else is now a mile down the road, and you’re still trying to find it, and the irony is hardly lost on you that in wanting to live, to learn, to find yourself, you’ve gotten lost.”
V.E. Schwab, The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue
