“I am a writer and comparing things is part of my occupation. Over the years I've learned to compare almost anything to almost anything else. I can compare the pencil I am using to write these words (and these words, and these and these) to my own life, because it is sometimes sharp and sometimes dull, and because it is getting shorter and shorter the more I use it, and because when I try to erase things you can still see the marks they left behind.”
― Lemony Snicket, Poison for Breakfast

“No one serves their friends by grinding themselves into dust on the altar of compassion.”
― Seanan McGuire, In an Absent Dream

“There was a terribly ghastly silence.
There was a terribly ghastly noise.
There was a terribly ghastly silence.”
― Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
