“Because books, the good ones, the ones you hold on to and come back to, they never disappoint. They’re the best kind of escape because, instead of leading you away from yourself, they end up circling you back to yourself, nice and easy, helping you see things not just as they are, but as you are too.”
Sally Franson, A Lady's Guide to Selling Out

“Isn’t it crazy […] that our ancestors left this?”
Sally Franson, Big in Sweden

“Careful what people in power tell you about yourself,” she said. “Most often what lies behind it is greed.”
Sally Franson, A Lady's Guide to Selling Out
