“Out of my way, Private, or your brains go public.”
― M.R. Carey, The Girl with All the Gifts

“Nothing in life is to be feared. It is only to be understood.”
― Marie Curie

“If I had a box full of all the evils of the world, I'd open it just a little way and push you inside. Then I'd close it again for always.”
― Mike Carey

“What she thinks is: this could have been me. Why not? A real girl, in a real house, with a mother and a father and a brother and a sister and an aunt and an uncle and a nephew and a niece and a cousin and all those other words for the map of people who love each other and stay together. The map called family.

Growing up and growing old. Playing. Exploring. Like Pooh and Piglet. And then like the Famous Five. And then like Heidi and Anne of Green Gables. And then like Pandora, opening the great big box of the world and not being afraid, not even caring whether what’s inside is good or bad. Because it’s both. Everything is always both.

But you have to open it to find that out.”
― M.R. Carey, The Girl with All the Gifts
