Humayun Ahmed
“মেয়েদের অনেক গুণের মধ্যে বড় গুণ হলো এরা খুব সুন্দর করে চিঠি লিখতে পারে। কথাবার্তায় নিতান্ত এলোমেলো মেয়েও চিঠি লেখায় গোছানো। মেয়েদের চিঠিতে আরেকটা ব্যাপার থাকে - বিষাদময়তা। নিতান্ত আনন্দের সংবাদ দিয়ে লেখা চিঠির মধ্যেও তারা জানি কী করে সামান্য হলেও দুঃখ মিশিয়ে দেয়। কাজটা যে ��ারা ইচ্ছা করে করে তা না। প্রকৃতি তাদের চরিত্রে যে বিষাদময়তা দিয়ে রেখেছে তাই হয়তো চিঠিতে উঠে আসে।”

“A girl who travels will need someone that questions her, not too little, and not too much. She’ll need someone to read her, but also really listen to her. Because she’ll want to do the same.

Quinn Loftis
“Jen smiled at them, a wicked gleam in her eyes.
"Do you hear that, Desdemona, last of the witches? I have so named you! Hear me now," Jen yelled into the dark forest, the wind and thunder still rolling around her. "Your time is drawing near! We are coming. Throw back your head in your tiny victory, laugh at our short-lived defeat, but we are coming. The night will be filled with our howls, the ground will shake with the stomping of our feet! We are coming. We are coming for you, Desdemona, and death follows!"
Jen lifted her head and let out a howl worthy of an Alpha female. The others joined. And as their howls died down, for a brief moment before the silence took over, they heard howls beyond the earthly realm, howls filled with grief and triumph, pain and fear, anger and love-howls from those caught in the jaws of the In Between. They had heard their females' cries and they had answered.”
Quinn Loftis, Beyond the Veil

E. Lockhart, The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks
