Erin Morgenstern
“Be brave,’ she says. ‘Be bold. Be loud. Never change for anyone but yourself. Any soul worth their star-stuff will take the whole package as is and however it grows. Don’t waste your time on anyone who doesn’t believe you when you tell them how you feel.”
Erin Morgenstern, The Starless Sea

Fredrik Backman
“You miss the strangest things when you lose someone. Little things. Smiles. The way she turned over in her sleep. Even repainting a room for her.”
Fredrik Backman, A Man Called Ove

Edgar Allan Poe
“They who dream by day are cognizant of many things which escape those who dream only by night.”
Edgar Allan Poe, The Tell-Tale Heart and Other Writings

Jodi Picoult
“I think grief is like a really ugly couch. It never goes away. You can decorate around it; you can slap a doily on top of it; you can push it to the corner of the room—but eventually, you learn to live with it.”
Jodi Picoult, Leaving Time

Lauren Groff
“For even a good man was more deadly than the worst of bears, and she had seen what even a blind ancient bear with its teeth pulled out of its black gums and its claws cut off and its eyes blinded in pink cross-hatching could do.”
Lauren Groff, The Vaster Wilds
