“I found that the only way I could control this sorrow was not to think of [it] at all, which was almost as painful as the loss itself.”
― Robin McKinley, Beauty: A Retelling of the Story of Beauty and the Beast

“Book collecting is an obsession, an occupation, a disease, an addiction, a fascination, an absurdity, a fate. It is not a hobby. Those who do it must do it.”
― Jeanette Winterson

“Books. Cats. Life is good.”
― T.S. Eliot

“It has been said that there must be a villain for every hero, a demon for every angel, a monster for every god. Despite what we are, I do not believe this. I have seen the villainous act heroic, and men called heroes act villainous. The ability to heal does not make one good any more than the ability to kill makes one evil. Kill the right people, and you become a hero. Heal the wrong ones, and you become a villain. It is our choices that define us, not our abilities.”
― Michelle Hodkin, The Retribution of Mara Dyer
