“The art of living is to fall in love
with life over and over again.
It is no easy thing to walk through the world
with an open heart, embracing everything,
and also stand true,
allowing no poison to affect us.
But be cracked open often.
Pour yourself into life withholding nothing.
Heal and be healed,
This is the way of living in full.”
― Jacob Nordby, Blessed Are the Weird: A Manifesto for Creatives

“Draw a line in your mind. Never cross it again. You have a soul. It's damaged, but it's there. Don't let them take it from you, Elias.”

“But you are not finished. You are my masterpiece, Helene Aquilla, but I have just begun. If you survive, you shall be a force to be reckoned with in this world. But first you will be unmade. First, you will be broken.”
