“So avoid using the word ‘very’ because it’s lazy. A man is not very tired, he is exhausted. Don’t use very sad, use morose. Language was invented for one reason, boys - to woo women - and, in that endeavor, laziness will not do. It also won’t do in your essays.”
― N.H. Kleinbaum, Dead Poets Society

“We have to go. I'm almost happy here.”
― Orson Scott Card, Ender’s Game

“So many people hate me and love me for the exact same reasons. This is all the proof I need that my opinion about myself is the only opinion I should ever care about.”
― Dan Pearce, Single Dad Laughing: The Best of Year One

“We hated each other so well and loved each other so badly...”
― Seanan McGuire, Rosemary and Rue
