“It’s the opportunity of a lifetime,” said Ito finally, who had been keeping very quiet up to this point. “Indeed. How much will it cost?” asked Brown “About twenty million Interplanetary Credits,” said Demba. “A modest investment for a man of your means.” “Indeed,” said Brown again. That was all the money he had, which started to strike him as strange, when his thoughts were interrupted. “We’ll arrange a visit to the mine,” said Ito. “Show you the place itself.” “Indeed,” said Brown. Or had he said that? The strange waking memory he had fallen into started to become repetitive. Reality started to flow back in. Diamonds, thought Brown. All those diamonds in that mine.”

“I have a question for you Water. What happens to the water in my body if I get angry at someone or if someone gets angry with me?”

“A very good question,” said Water. “In either case, the water in your body gets upset and causes you to not feel very well. You feel sad, or maybe you will cry. Crying is good because it puts good endorphins into your body, and you will start to feel better. They help the water in your body to recover.”

“I'm not ill like that,” she groaned. He sat on her bed, peeling back the blanket. A servant entered, frowning at the mess on the floor, and shouted for help.
“Then it what way?”
“I,uh...” Her face was so hot she thought it would melt onto the floor. Oh you idiot. “My monthly cycles finally came back!”
His face suddenly matched hers and he stepped away, dragging his hand through his short hair. “I-if...Then I'll take my leave,” he stammered, and bowed. Celaena raised an eyebrow, and then, despite herself, smiled as he left the room as quick as his feet could go without running, tripping slightly in the doorway as he staggered into the rooms beyond.”
― Sarah J. Maas, Throne of Glass

“I can’t disgrace the great woman buried somewhere beneath the drugs, the naked outbursts on stage, behind the tongue-wagging, rebellious teen artist... to the tormented woman performer.
There is a human being inside. And even with her vices, I’m pretty sure she has a great story she’s been dying to whisper. A girl screaming for everyone to look beyond the magazine covers and tabloid stories.
A story I want to listen to—all night.”
― Yarro Rai, Beyond Passion and Dreams: Two Souls. One Fire. No Survivors.

“You're not impatient any more. Then you were in a hurry, because you thought you could encompass everything in your life. You wanted to learn everything and experience everything and be everybody. In a way, that was charming and delightful in you: I used to write in my notebooks that you were zestful. But it also made you seem confused. You did things in fits and starts. You learned as a stammerer talks ... Today, you are not in such a hurry. I think you have decided that you can do only a few things at all well, and they are more than enough.”
― John Hersey, The Wall
