Neil Gaiman
“I thought about adults. I wondered if that was true: if they were all really children wrapped in adult bodies, like children’s books hidden in the middle of dull, long adult books, the kind with no pictures or conversations.”
Neil Gaiman, The Ocean at the End of the Lane

Søren Kierkegaard
“It is perhaps the misfortune of my life that I am interested in far too much but not decisively in any one thing; all my interests are not subordinated in one but stand on an equal footing.”
Soren Kierkegaard

Rainbow Rowell
“To really be a nerd, she'd decided, you had to prefer fictional worlds to the real one.”
Rainbow Rowell, Fangirl

Emily Henry
“All I really want is to build a house with a nice, big porch that gets used every day.”
Emily Henry, The Love That Split the World

Jesmyn Ward
“After I left New York, I found the adage about time healing all wounds to be false: grief doesn't fade. Grief scabs over like scars and pulls into new, painful configurations as it knits. It hurts in new ways. We are never free from grief. We are never free from the feeling that we have failed. We are never free from self-loathing. We are never free from the feeling that something is wrong with us, not with the world that made this mess.”
Jesmyn Ward, Men We Reaped: A Memoir
