“I get locked into a cycle of not speaking. It’s like every time I think of something awesome to say, I rehearse it in my head so many times, I forget whether I’ve said it out loud yet. And I think it goes without saying that awesome one-liners are decidedly less awesome when you repeat them by accident. Better not to risk it.”
― Becky Albertalli, The Upside of Unrequited

“She wasn't much of a talker when there was nothing to say.”
― Alice Sebold

“With a book he was regardless of time.”
― Jane Austen

“A pretty sight, a lady with a book.”
― Shirley Jackson, We Have Always Lived in the Castle
