Book Quotes

" 'They have started calling America the land of dreams.'

The land of dreams. Where men and women in white hoods roam the streets to murder Black folks. Where written laws prohibit the Chinese from stepping upon its shores. Where immigrant children are separated from immigrant mothers on Ellis Island, never to be seen again.

Even the land of dreams needs to wake up sometimes."

These Violent Delights by Chloe Gong

“ ‘What if I mess up?’

‘Oh, you will. You’ll mess up, you’ll make mistakes, you’ll break things. Some you’ll be able to piece together, and others you’ll lose. That’s all a given. But there’s only one thing you have to do for me… stay alive long enough to mess up again’” 

The Archived by V. E. Schwab

“Stop treating your pain like it’s something you imagined. If you see the wound is real, you can heal it.” 

“Fear is a phoenix. You can watch it burn a thousand times and still it will return.”

Crooked Kingdom by Leigh Bardugo
