“She remembered one of her boyfriends asking, offhandedly, how many books she read in a year. "A few hundred," she said.
"How do you have the time?" he asked, gobsmacked.
She narrowed her eyes and considered the array of potential answers in front of her. Because I don't spend hours flipping through cable complaining there's nothing on? Because my entire Sunday is not eaten up with pre-game, in-game, and post-game talking heads? Because I do not spend every night drinking overpriced beer and engaging in dick-swinging contests with the other financirati? Because when I am waiting in line, at the gym, on the train, eating lunch, I am not complaining about the wait/staring into space/admiring myself in reflective surfaces? I am reading!

Eleanor Brown, The Weird Sisters

“If I told you monsters could be tamed, would you want to live with monsters? Even a tame monster is still a monster.”
Julie Eshbaugh, Crown of Oblivion: A Gripping YA Survival Fantasy About a Cutthroat Race for Freedom

Pierce Brown
“I thought being a man was having control. Being the master and commander of your own destiny. How could any boy know that freedom is lost the moment you become a man. Things start to count. To press in. Constricting slowly, inevitably, creating a cage of inconveniences and duties and deadlines and failed plans and lost friends.”
Pierce Brown, Morning Star

Jay Kristoff
“Don't fuck with librarians, young lady. We know the power of words.”
Jay Kristoff, Darkdawn

“I’d have bet on seeing Eva Gabor on Forty-Second Street before you. Are you crying?” “No. Yes. Oh, Bobby!” Sue explained: She had been in the city for two months, sleeping on Rebecca’s couch. Her savings were running out. No agents would give her the time of day.”
Tom Hanks, Uncommon Type: Some Stories
