Romancing the Reader

“I always thought I'd find the ultimate happiness within the pages of a book. I've been so convinced of that fact that I devoted so much of my life disappearing inside them, searching for that which has always eluded me. I should have known I wouldn't find what I was looking for on ink and paper. Even the poets entrusted their foolish hearts into the hands of others.”
― Callie Hart, Riot House

“Priceless and worthless are the same sum, presented in a different manner. Words make or break you.”
― L.J. Shen, The Hunter

“I never make mistakes," I replied. "I'm either right or I'm learning. Jaku niku kyo shoku.”
― Penelope Douglas, Hideaway

“It means people who make mistakes usually learn from them. That doesn't make them hypocrites. It makes them experienced.”
― Colleen Hoover, Regretting You
