"Life would always throw challenges, but it was up to me to consider each and every one and make a choice about how I would take it on. And I was up to the task."

-Noelle Salazar, The Roaring Days of Zora Lily

"No other person should ever get credit for being the best part of who you are. They may have helped shape you, lent you ides, shown you other possibilities, but you are you. Simple as that. Know your worth, girl. Because the world you're going to will make you feel small if you let it. Don't let it. Don't let them."

-Noelle Salazar, The Roaring Days of Zora Lily

"Art, I understood now, was so much more than the sum of its brush strokes, curved clay appendages, or intricate stitching. There were stories woven, kneaded, and scratches into each piece. Blood, sweat, and tears intermixing with charcoal, textile, and canvas. Hopes, dreams, anger, fear, heartbreak, redemption, romance, and the thrilling sensation of falling in love all resided in an artist's word, the admirer of such pieces never knowing what emotions and story had shaped it."

-Noelle Salazar, The Roaring Days of Zora Lily
