    Hayao Miyazaki

    “I close my eyes, and this image floats beside me.
    A sweaty toothed mad man with a stare that pounds my brain.
    His hands reach out and choke me, and all the time he's mumbling.
    “Truth, truth.”
    Like a blanket that always leaves your feet cold.
    You push it, stretch it, but it'll never be enough.
    You kick at it, beat it, it'll never cover any of us.
    From the moment we enter crying,
    to the moment we leave dying,
    it'll just cover your face,
    as you wail and cry and scream.”
    Tom Schulman, Dead Poets Society

    Susan Cain
    “We often marvel at how introverted, geeky, kid 'blossom' into secure and happy adults. We liken it to a metamorphosis. However, maybe it's not the children who change but their environments. As adults they get to select the careers, spouses, and social circles that suit them. They don't have to live in whatever culture they'er plunked into.”
    Susan Cain, Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking

    N.H. Kleinbaum
    “We don't read and write poetry because it's cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for. To quote from Whitman, "O me! O life!... of the questions of these recurring; of the endless trains of the faithless... of cities filled with the foolish; what good amid these, O me, O life?" Answer. That you are here - that life exists, and identity; that the powerful play goes on and you may contribute a verse. That the powerful play *goes on* and you may contribute a verse. What will your verse be?”
    N.H. Kleinbaum, Dead Poets Society

    “I’m going to go back and stop your son from killing her.”
    The queen’s face fell. For a moment, she looked as old as the years she’d spent lying in a suspended state. “That is not a small mistake to fix. If you do this, Time will take something equally valuable from you.”
    The Fate gave the queen a look more vicious than any curse. “There is nothing of equal value to me.”
    Stephanie Garber, The Ballad of Never After
