Maggie Alderson
“Oakmoss, patchouli, bergamot, labdanum, in the balance you constantly shift and nuance like a conductor, but dancing on top of that tonka, a hint of leather and a cheeky reference to Miss Dior, with some carnation. I think there will be ambergris and sandalwood in the dry-down, and I can't wait to see how it smells in the middle of the night.”
Maggie Alderson, The Scent of You

Ted Chiang
“I spoke to a mullah about what I had done, and it was he who told me that repentance and atonement erase the past.”
Ted Chiang, The Merchant and the Alchemist's Gate
