“At its core, the collection is built around a very wise line from a Beatles song: I want to hold your hand. I want to hold your hand with no further expectations. I want to hold your hand instead of telling you I understand when I don’t. I want to hold your hand although we don’t always get along. I want to hold your hand despite the calluses, scratches, and scars that get in the way. I want to hold your hand knowing I’ll have to let it go one day.”

We didn't always realize they tasted funny â€� not everything curdles and a two-month-old orange can be just as sweet. When we did, it was usually too late. Sometimes it wasn't. We finished what we had started anyway.”

Movie posters simply scream “Poor high school gradâ€�. But no one ever looks at books and scoffs, “Books? Really? What are you, a college professor?”

"It's not very interesting to look at," Janine said, stooping to peer through the glass-fronted door with him. "But it's fun to use."
