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

Erin Morgenstern
“But the world is strange and endings are not truly endings no matter how the stars might wish it so.”
Erin Morgenstern, The Starless Sea

Erin Morgenstern
“For a while I was looking for a person but I didn't find them and after that I was looking for myself. Now that I've found me I'm back to exploring, which is what I was doing in the first place before I was doing anything else and I think I was supposed to be exploring all along.”
Erin Morgenstern, The Starless Sea

Esi Edugyan
“Life holds a sanctity for them we can scarcely begin to imagine; it therefore struck them as absurd that someone would choose to end it.”
Esi Edugyan, Washington Black

Ahmed Saadawi
“We try to avoid meeting one another, although we are moving around in search of one another.”
Ahmed Saadawi, Frankenstein in Baghdad
