“A SMALL PIECE OF TRUTH
I do not carry a sickle or scythe.

― Markus Zusak, The Book Thief

“Tomorrow is a new day with no mistakes in it... yet.”
― L.M. Montgomery, Anne of Green Gables

“Loneliness had taught Harriet that there was always someone who understood - it was just so often that they were dead, and in a book.”
― Eva Ibbotson, A Company of Swans
