    Michael Faudet
    “I suddenly realized it’s no coincidence the two middle letters of life are if. For every action we make, there is a reaction. The outcome often beyond our control, fragile and fraught with ruinous consequences. Like a soap bubble made real by a gentle breath only to be taken by it.”
    Michael Faudet, Dirty Pretty Things

    “I wake with a jolt that sends a shock of pain through my ankle. Crying out, I look around me. Floral wallpaper. Am I at home? Who's that man in the chair by the door, reading .... "Twilight?" Leon blinks at me, putting the book down in his lap. 'You went from unconscious to judgemental very quickly there.”
    Beth O'Leary, The Flatshare

    “My dad likes to say, ‘Life is never simpleâ€�. This is one of his favourite aphorisms.

    I actually think it’s incorrect. Life is often simple, but you don’t notice how simple it was until it gets incredibly complicated, like how you never feel grateful for being well until you’re ill, or how you never appreciate your tights drawer until you rip a pair and have no spares.”
    Beth O'Leary, The Flatshare

    “I'm just conveying the brutality of the market to you, Katherin,' I say. That's one of my favourite lines. Good old market, always there to be blamed. "The people don't want history in their crochet books. They want cute pictures and easy instructions.”
    Beth O'Leary, The Flatshare

    Beth O'Leary
    “Mr Prior: The art of letter writing. A profoundly . . . intimate thing, a letter, isn’t it? I stare at him suspiciously. Not sure what he’s getting at here. Me: It’s Post-it notes on the fridge, Mr Prior, not hand-delivered letters on scented paper. Mr Prior: Oh, yes, I’m sure you’re right. Absolutely. Post-it notes. No art in that, I’m sure.”
    Beth O'Leary, The Flatshare

    Beth O'Leary
    “People struggle to see it's not about whether she's going to die - palliative care isn't just a place you go to slowly slip away. More people live and leave than die on our wards. It is about being comfortable for the duration of something necessary and painful. Making bad times easier.”
    Beth O'Leary, The Flatshare

    “It was a weird way to get to know Leon, writing all these notes over the last few months, and it sort of happened without me noticing - one minute I was scribbling him a quick note about leftovers, the next I was in a full-on, day-to-day correspondence.”
    Beth O'Leary, The Flatshare

    “And friend.�

    “A wise warrior learns from her mistakes.”
    Leigh Bardugo, Wonder Woman: Warbringer

  • #28
    Leigh Bardugo
    “Human courage was different from Amazon bravery. She saw that now. For all the suspicion and derision she'd heard from her mother and her sisters about the mortal world, Diana couldn't help but admire the people with whom she traveled. Their lives were violent, precarious, fragile, but they fought for them anyway, and held to the hope that their brief stay on this earth might count for something. That faith was worth preserving.”
    Leigh Bardugo, Wonder Woman: Warbringer

    Leigh Bardugo
    “A different kind of knight, one who'd chosen to protect the girl the world wanted to destroy; one born to slay dragons, but maybe to befriend them, too.”
    Leigh Bardugo, Wonder Woman: Warbringer

    Leigh Bardugo
    “Diana searched her memory for everything she’d been told about mortals, the soft stuff—eating habits, body temperature, cultural norms. Unfortunately, her mother and her tutors were more focused on what Diana referred to as the Dire Warnings: War. Torture. Genocide. Pollution. Bad Grammar.”
    Leigh Bardugo, Wonder Woman: Warbringer
