1 " Hannah linked her arm in his and he smiled down at her. 'Let's do this.'Thank you, universe. THANK YOU. It was in that moment that he felt the page turn and a new chapter in the story of his life begin. Ed knew that the best was to come. "
― Lucy Powrie , Bookishly Ever After (The Paper & Hearts Society #3)
2 " And to reading with pride!' Olivia said. 'Because there's no other way to read. "
― Lucy Powrie , Read with Pride (The Paper & Hearts Society, #2)
3 " It was remarkable, really, just how close it was; there was the constant reminder of death, both inside and out of the house. "
― Lucy Powrie , The Paper & Hearts Society (The Paper & Hearts Society, #1)
4 " The book ceased to be just a book. It began to be a pathway into understanding yourself, and ultimately accepting that who you are is who you are and you shouldn't have to change yourself for anyone. "
5 " The thing is, masking isn't always good. It takes a lot of effort and energy to hide a big part of yourself, even if you're not doing it intentionally. Masking is a bit like going into survival mode. You do it because you have to, rather than because you want to; and while everyone has the ability to mask to some degree, for autistic people, we can spend most of our lives doing it without even realizing. "
6 " I've been here right along, just waiting. "
7 " It is a truth universally acknowledged that any book lover in want of a good book will always find one in a library. "
8 " Is there anything in a world more magical than a library? "
9 " As long as she had Olivia, Henry, Ed, and Cassie by her side, Tabby thought she could conquer the world. "
10 " Books are an immeasurable pleasure. "
― Lucy Powrie
11 " This is what it should feel like. The escape, the release. The total freedom. "
12 " The key to other worlds, doors to other people and experiences, pathways to understanding the world. "
13 " It wasn't just a book any more — it was Tabby's lifeline. She lived and breathed it; it comforted and soothed and explained exactly how she was feeling even when she couldn't understand those feelings herself. "
14 " Tabby didn't know how anyone could do such a thing in a place where time seemed to stop, where everything seemed so reverent. "
15 " Cassie did as she was told, and Olivia threw her arms around her girlfriend's neck, not worrying who was watching as she showered kisses on her cheeks. She loved the tinkle of laughter that burst from Cassie. 'I love you, Cassie', she said. "
16 " These kids sound like they're as obsessed with books as you are, and we need to surround ourselves with the people who are just as passionate about the things in life that we are. Take Mr. Helstone and his veg, for example. Now, there's a passionate man. He's made many friends at the local competitions he attends. Just goes to show: it's never too late to find your people. "
17 " You just have to ride the storm, young man, and make it out the other side. It will get easier eventually. "
18 " If Ed could pretend to be a ghost, he could act his way into being a bookseller. How hard could it be? "
19 " The Paper and Hearts Society is for ever. It will always be with us, even when we're not together. For ever and always. "
20 " If there's anyone I know who can conjure the light, it's you, Livy. "
