“We should always make time for the things we like. If we don't, we might forget how to be happy.”

T.J. Klune,
The House in the Cerulean Sea
“Hate is loud, but I think you'll learn it's because it's only a few people shouting, desperate to be heard. You might not ever be able to change their minds, but so long as your remember you're not alone, you will overcome.” ― T.J. Klune, The House in the Cerulean Sea
“Change often starts with the smallest of whispers. Like-minded people building it up to a roar.” ― T.J. Klune, The House in the Cerulean Sea
“You’re too precious to put into words. I think … it’s like one of Theodore’s buttons. If you asked him why he cared about them so, he would tell you it’s because they exist at all.” ― T.J. Klune, The House in the Cerulean Sea
“I am but paper. Brittle and thin. I am held up to the sun, and it shines right through me. I get written on, and I can never be used again. These scratches are a history. They’re a story. They tell things for others to read, but they only see the words, and not what the words are written upon. I am but paper, and though there are many like me, none are exactly the same. I am parched parchment. I have lines. I have holes. Get me wet, and I melt. Light me on fire, and I burn. Take me in hardened hands, and I crumple. I tear. I am but paper. Brittle and thin.” ― T.J. Klune, The House in the Cerulean Sea
“Humanity is so weird. If we’re not laughing, we’re crying or running for our lives because monsters are trying to eat us. And they don’t even have to be real monsters. They could be the ones we make up in our heads. Don’t you think that’s weird?” ― T.J. Klune, The House in the Cerulean Sea
“Just because you don’t experience prejudice in your everyday doesn’t stop it from existing for the rest of us.” ― T.J. Klune, The House in the Cerulean Sea
“A home isn’t always the house we live in. It’s also the people we choose to surround ourselves with. You may not live on the island, but you can’t tell me it’s not your home. Your bubble, Mr. Baker. It’s been popped. Why would you allow it to grow around you again?” ― T.J. Klune, The House in the Cerulean Sea
“A home isn't always the house we live in. It's also the people we choose to surround ourselves with.” ― T.J. Klune, The House in the Cerulean Sea
“When something is broken, you can put it back together. It may not fit quite the same, or work like it did once before, but that doesn't mean it's no longer useful.” ― T.J. Klune, The House in the Cerulean Sea
“Sometimes our prejudices color our thoughts when we least expect them to. If we can recognize that, and learn from it, we can become better people.” ― T.J. Klune, The House in the Cerulean Sea
“Your voice is a weapon. Never forget that.” ― T.J. Klune, The House in the Cerulean Sea
“I'm afraid I don't have magic.""You do, Mr. Baker. Arthur told me that there can be magic in the ordinary.” ― T.J. Klune, The House in the Cerulean Sea
“It’s never enough, is it? Time. We always think we have so much of it, but when it really counts, we don’t have enough at all.” ― T.J. Klune, Under the Whispering Door
“You don’t get to decide what you’re worth because you obviously don’t know. You don’t get to decide that anymore because you have no fucking idea that you’re worth everything.” ― T.J. Klune, Wolfsong
“The first time you share tea, you are a stranger. The second time you share tea, you are an honored guest. The third time you share tea, you become family.” ― T.J. Klune, Under the Whispering Door
“It's the little things, I expect. Little treasures we find without knowing their origin. And they come when we least expect them. It's beautiful, when you think about it.” ― T.J. Klune, The House in the Cerulean Sea
“People suck, but sometimes, they should just drown in their own suckage without our help.” ― T.J. Klune, The House in the Cerulean Sea
“I thought the whole point of having a gay brother was that they were supposed to be all cool and shit. I’ve got a defective gay.” ― T.J. Klune
