“Ammachi, when I come to the end of a book and I look up, just four days have passed. But in that time I’ve lived through three generations and learned more about the world and about myself than I do during a year in school.

― Claire Keegan, Small Things Like These

“There are no ghosts, but up here”—she gestured toward her head—“it’s a haunted house.”
― Gabrielle Zevin, Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow

“Man of Tomorrow," my ass. Try "Man of the nineteen-fifties!”
― Mark Waid, Kingdom Come
