Anxious People by Fredrik BackmanSometimes it hurts, it really hurts, for no reason other than the fact that our skin doesn't really feel like it's ours.

- Latest Review: When North Becomes South by Becky Bronson
- Jack Kerouac, On the RoadThe only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes ‘Awww!'
While I didn't particularly enjoy On the Road, this quote has stuck with me for years.
-Mark Danielewski, House of LeavesMaturity, one discovers, has everything to do with the acceptance of ‘not knowing.'
This is perhaps my favorite book.

- Marie Rutkoski The Winner's CurseIsn't that what stories do, make real things fake, and fake things real?
That trilogy is still my favorite YA series even after reading over 300 other books.

This book is one of my favorites of all time! I think this beautiful quote really captures the essence of the book. I remember how this story changed forever the way I saw the world, and I would highly recommend nearly anyone to read it.

This quote isn't actually from a book, but I came across it once and I think about it a lot. It really keeps me focused on changing what I can and leaving the rest to God.Do not be daunted by the enormity of the world's grief. Do justly, now. Love mercy, now. Walk humbly, now. You are not obligated to complete the work, but neither are you free to abandon it."

It is not time or opportunity that is to determine intimacy;–it is disposition alone. Seven years would be insufficient to make some people acquainted with each other, and seven days are more than enough for others.
