Quotes by Joel Mark Harris (?)

“It's that old, old fear thing again. Why does it creep along with us, attached to us like our shadow? Why can't it just leave us alone? Why can't we tell each other what we think and what we feel?”
― Joel Mark Harris, A Thousand Bayonets

How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.”
