As You Wish

“I have wandered far, but not forgotten.”
― Katherine Arden, The Winter of the Witch

“Nothing extraordinary is ever done out of reason or logic, but because it’s the only way for your soul to breathe.”
― Axie Oh, The Girl Who Fell Beneath the Sea

“Sometimes, if you want to save other people, you need to remember to save yourself first.”
― Margaret Rogerson, Vespertine

“For a long time, I wanted people to change--to be less cruel, to be decent, to be fair, to tell the truth. That would be lovely. But I'm not waiting around for that. I'm deciding who gets to enter my spaces, my heart, my mind, my living room, because I'm responsible for those places, no one else. I'm responsible to protect my mind, my heart, my family.”
― Shauna Niequist, I Guess I Haven't Learned That Yet: Discovering New Ways of Living When the Old Ways Stop Working
