“Doing everything yourself isn’t strength. It’s a kind of weakness, really. When you trust other people enough to ask them to help you—to admit your own weakness—there’s strength in that. A three-strand cord is not easily broken. But one strand on its own is sure to break.”
― Christina Baehr, City of Serpents

“How strange to grow up like that, a different person than what one thought.”
― Christina Baehr, Drake Hall

“Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.” And that’s when I started crying. Crying like a kindergarten kid in front of everyone. Crying because Joseph wasn’t just my friend. I had his back. And he had mine. That’s what greater love is.”
― Gary D. Schmidt, Orbiting Jupiter

“You can’t have courage without fear, any more than you can have a ray of light without shadows.”
― Jonathan Auxier, Sweep: The Story of a Girl and Her Monster
