Hyeonseo Lee
“In her world, the law was upside down. People had to break the law to live. The prohibition on drug-dealing, a serious crime in most countries, is not viewed in the same way – as protective of society – by North Koreans. It is viewed as a risk, like unauthorized parking. If you can get away with it, where’s the harm?”
Hyeonseo Lee, The Girl with Seven Names: A North Korean Defector's Story

Seanan McGuire
“This world is unforgiving and cruel to those it judges as even the slightest bit outside the norm. If anyone should be kind, understanding, accepting, loving to their fellow outcasts, it’s you. All of you. You are the guardians of the secrets of the universe, beloved of worlds that most will never dream of, much less see … can’t you see where you owe it to yourselves to be kind? To care for one another? No one outside this room will ever understand what you’ve been through the way the people around you right now understand.”
Seanan McGuire, Every Heart a Doorway

Seanan McGuire
“That's because Narnia was a Christian allegory pretending to be a fantasy series, you asshole," said one of the other boys. "C.S. Lewis never went through any doors. He didn't know how it worked. He wanted to tell a story, and he'd probably heard about kids like us, and he made shit up.”
Seanan McGuire, Every Heart a Doorway

Seanan McGuire
“Nobody gets to tell me how my story ends but me, she thought, and the words were true enough that she repeated them aloud: “Nobody gets to tell me how my story ends but me.”
Seanan McGuire, Every Heart a Doorway

Laura E. Weymouth
“This is, after all, my own peculiar magic--whatever circumstances I find myself in, I always land on my feet.”
Laura E. Weymouth, The Light Between Worlds
