You’re braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.

Winnie The Pooh by A. A. Milne

Life might be easier if you give in a little, but it’s better if you hold onto something so hard you can’t give it up.

Jasper Jones by Craig Silvey.

I wanted to tell the book thief many things, about beauty and brutality. But what could I tell her about those things that she didn’t already know? I wanted to explain that I am constantly overestimating and underestimating the human race - that rarely do I ever simply estimate it. I wanted to ask her how the same thing could be so ugly and so glorious, and its words and stories so damning and brilliant… I am haunted by humans.

The Book Thief by Markus Zusak
