“A Jack-o'-lantern might be beautiful, but it was still something that had been cut open and hollowed out because someone wanted it to suit their idea of what a pumpkin ought to be. It wasn't its own self anymore”

“Mysteries in books were the best kind. The real world was absolutely full of boring mysteries, questions that never got answered and lost things that never got found. That wasn't allowed, in books. In books, mysteries were always interesting and exciting, packed with daring and danger, and in the end, the good guys found the clues and the bad guys got their comeuppance. Best of all, nothing was ever lost forever. If something mattered enough for the author to write it down, it would always come back before the last page was turned. It would always come back.”
― Seanan McGuire, In an Absent Dream

“Paperwork is a magic in and of itself. It makes spouses out of strangers, makes homes out of houses.”
― Seanan McGuire, In an Absent Dream

“If you hear a voice within say you cannot do something, then by all means, do that thing, and that voice will be silenced.”
― Marta Molnar, The Secret Life of Sunflowers
