“There's power in stories. There's magic in them. And each person's life is a story itself, and with that, every person carries magic within them. And all of us are taught over the years how to forget it—lose it.” The First Binding by R.R. Virdi

“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.” - The Starless Sea by Erin Morgenstern

“The truth may be stretched thin, but it never breaks, and it always surfaces above lies, as oil floats on water. People like to say they seek the truth. Sometimes they even mean it. The truth is they crave the warm embrace of a lie.” - The Square of Sevens by Laura Shepherd-Robinson

"I have love in me the likes of which you can scarcely imagine and rage the likes of which you would not believe. If I cannot satisfy the one, I will indulge the other." - Mary Shelly -Frankenstein
