“Maps are love letters written to times and places their makers had explored.”
― Peng Shepherd, The Cartographers

“Books are not meant to remain in your mind, but in your heart. Maybe they exist in your mind too, but as something more than memories. At a crossroads in life, a forgotten sentence or a story from years ago can come back to offer an invisible hand and guide you to a decision. Personally, I feel like the books I've read led me to make the choices I've made in life. While I may not remember all the details, the stories continue to exert a quiet influence on me.”
― Hwang Bo-reum, Welcome to the Hyunam-dong Bookshop

“As I could, I loved you.”
― Katherine Arden, The Winter of the Witch

“It was always wise to be polite to books, whether or not they could hear you.”
― Margaret Rogerson, Sorcery of Thorns
