“There’s an art to fleeing casually. It’s not easy, running from something that might kill you while not attracting stares.”
― Ransom Riggs, The Conference of the Birds

“It was the second time in three days that I'd taken up space normally reserved for a dead body. It seemed like the universe was trying to tell me something and not in a terribly subtle way.”
― Ransom Riggs, The Conference of the Birds

“All my life, normal people had mostly baffled me-the ridiculous ways they strove to impress one another, the mediocre goals that seemed to drive them, the banality of their dreams. The way people rejected anything that didn’t fit their narrow paradigm of acceptability, as if those who thought or acted or dressed or dreamed differently from them were a threat to their very existence.”
― Ransom Riggs, A Map of Days

“One never knows when the end is coming, or if we may all be assembled together as a whole and complete family again. And so I want you to know that I regret every day that my full attention has been called away from you, and if these talks, and the rebuilding of our loops at home, have caused me to shirk my responsibility to you, I am sorry. In the end I am your mistress and your servant. You mean more to me than all the birds in the sky and the heavens above them. If you love me, I hope I have deserved it.”
― Ransom Riggs, The Conference of the Birds
