Victoria Aveyard
“Those who know what it's like in the dark will do anything to stay in the light.”
Victoria Aveyard, King's Cage

J.R.R. Tolkien
“I am old, Gandalf. I don't look it, but I am beginning to feel it in my heart of hearts. Well-preserved indeed! Why, I feel all thin, sort of stretched, if you know what I mean: like butter that has been scraped over too much bread. That can't be right. I need a change, or something.”
J.R.R. Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings

Robert Ludlum
“Whenever you’re in a stress situation yourself—and there’s time, of course—do exactly as you would do when you project yourself into one you’re observing. Let your mind fall free, let whatever thoughts and images that surface come cleanly. Try not to exercise any mental discipline. Be a sponge; concentrate on everything and nothing. Specifics may come to you, certain repressed conduits electrically prodded into functioning.”
Robert Ludlum, The Bourne Identity

C.S. Lewis
“Feelings, and feelings, and feelings. Let me try thinking instead.”
C.S. Lewis, A Grief Observed

Martin Heidegger
“Der Mensch versucht vergeblich, durch sein Planen den Erdball in eine Ordnung zu bringen, wenn er nicht dem Zuspruch des Feldweges eingeordnet ist.”
Martin Heidegger, Der Feldweg
