“All witches are selfish, the Queen had said. But Tiffany’s Third Thoughts said: Then turn selfishness into a weapon! Make all things yours! Make other lives and dreams and hopes yours! Protect them! Save them! Bring them into the sheepfold! Walk the gale for them! Keep away the wolf! My dreams! My brother! My family! My land! My world! How dare you try to take these things, because they are mine!

I have a duty!”
― Terry Pratchett, The Wee Free Men

“I guess it’s easy to be confident when you’re helpless, easy to be fearless when you have nothing left to lose”

“Your beauty is not a tax you are required to pay to take up space in this world.”
― Mackenzi Lee, The Lady's Guide to Petticoats and Piracy

“There are so many pieces to a person. So many small stories and so few opportunities to read them. 'I would like to look at you' seems like such an awkward request.”
