― Lucy Grealy, Autobiography of a Face

“The beauty on the inside, will determine the ugly on the outside.”
― Anthony Liccione

“...to the last I grapple with thee; from hell's heart I stab at thee; for hate's sake I spit my last breath at thee.”

“I know not all that may be coming, but be it what it will, I'll go to it laughing.”
― Herman Melville, Moby-Dick or, The Whale
