“- I have no argument with faith, understand, so long as it helps one to cope with the slings and arrows of life while keeping its hands outside of my pockets -
Virgil LaFleur”
Dawnie Walton, The Final Revival of Opal & Nev

Rumaan Alam
“Ruth had learned only one thing from the current reality, and it was that everything held together by tacit agreement that it would. All it took to unravel something was one party deciding to do just that. There was no real structure to prevent chaos. There was only a collective faith in order.”

Beau Taplin, Here at Dawn
