FEELING VERY SAD FOR ANN
"Of course anyone who truly loves books buys more of them than he or she can hope to read in one fleeting lifetime. A good book, resting unopened in its slot on a shelf, full of majestic potentiality, is the most comforting sort of intellectual wallpaper."
— David Quammen (via prettybooks)
Some say I live a pretentious life, hiding in pages and pages of countless books. They just don’t understand that these alternate worlds are actually the ones keeping me sane and alive
"Books are like oxygen to a deep-sea diver,” she had once said. “Take them away and you might as well begin counting the bubbles."

"Don’t let the world convince you that you can’t write. That may ultimately be true, who knows, but it’s way too early to tell. You’re playing the long game, and in the meantime don’t take any guff from those swine. Maybe you don’t look or act or talk like the chosen one. That’s all right. Because in the end writers aren’t chosen. You choose yourself."
