“You see, there is no book that can please everyone. And if there were, it would be a bad book. You can’t be everyone’s friend, because everyone is different. You’d have to be completely lacking in personality, no rough edges or sharp corners. But even then, many people wouldn’t like you, because they need rough edges and sharp corners. Do you understand? Every person needs different books. Because what one person loves with all their heart, might leave another completely cold.”
― Carsten Henn

“Not everything in life is painted with happy colors because no matter how we love the rainbow, there comes a time that we also crave gray skies and the touch of raindrops.”
― Verliza Gajeles

“How I missed the sound of rain, like the voice of an old friend.”

“Sisters, drop
everything. Walk
away from the lake, leaning
on each other's shoulders
when you need
the support. Feel the contradictions
of another truth ready
to be born: shame
turned inside out
is rage.”
― Laurie Halse Anderson, Shout
