“Imagine smiling after a slap in the face. Then think of doing it twenty-four hours a day.”— Markus Zusak, amazon.com
“It was surprising that you could spend hours in the middle of the night pretending things were okay, and know in thirty seconds of daylight that simply wasn't so.”— Gillian Flynn, amazon.com
