We are Okay_edited.jpg

“‘Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can.’”

Hello Universe_edited.jpg

"He just didn’t know why his parents were so preoccupied with him “coming out of his shell.” What was so bad about a shell, anyway?"
-Hello, Universe, by Erin Entrada Kelly

“She hoped to be wise and reasonable in time; but alas! Alas! She must confess to herself that she was not wise yet.”

"But you can be talky and paint your fingernails and still be very sad. In fact, you can be talky and paint your fingernails to protect other people from how sad you are."
-Again, Again, by E. Lockhart

"He tells you to play, so you play. He tells you to curtsy, so you curtsy. He tells you what you are meant to do and what you are meant not to do, so you do and you do not do. He tells you not to be angry, so you smile, you turn your eyes down, you are quiet and do exactly as he says in the hopes that this is what he wants, and then one night you realize that you have given him so much of yourself that you are nothing but the curtsy and the smile and the quiet. That you are nothing."
-The Kingdom of Back, by Marie Lu

“Do you think, because I am poor, obscure, plain and little, I am soulless and heartless? You think wrong! - I have as much soul as you, - and full as much heart! And if God had gifted me with some beauty and much wealth, I should have made it as hard for you to leave me, as it is now for me to leave you!”
-Jane Eyre, by Charlotte Brontë
