“We step out of our solar system into the universe seeking only peace and friendship — to teach, if we are called upon; to be taught, if we are fortunate.” ~ Becky Chambers, To Be Taught, If Fortunate

“Time is a treacherous mistress. In our youth it flows slow and deep; the days stretch out endlessly. When we are children, a summer lasts for a century. As we age, the flow of time speeds up. Suddenly, a year vanishes with the snap of one’s fingers. How quickly time eludes us, how easily it tricks us.” ~ Silvia Moreno-Garcia, The Bewitching

Love is a light you can see only when you reach for it. You hold it in your hand and, for as long as the flame glows, it warms you. ~ Caroline Lea, Love, Sex, and Frankenstein

I tug on her hand, trying to pull her up. “I want your tits in my mouth.” “And I want your dick in mine,” she replies with an evil smirk.” ~ Meghan Quinn, Merry Christmas, You Filthy Animal

“What a gift that is. To still wish and dream and want. To find the good. To wear it on your sleeve.” ~ B.K. Borison, Good Spirits

“Every day we should feel, I hope, a little grace. And we can use it to bring peace in everything we do, to reconcile and bear quiet witness to our common humanity. Sorry. I don’t really have anything special to say...” “Actually,” said their mother, “that was perfect.” ~ Jenny Colgan, The Christmas Bookshop
