“My feet will tread soft as a deer in the forest. My mind will be clear as water from the sacred well. My heart will be strong as a great oak. My spirit will spread an eagle's wings, and fly forth.”
― Juliet Marillier, Daughter of the Forest

“What makes somebody nice or unpleasant to be around is the way they communicate. When people are fucked up, their communication is fucked up.”
― Ryū Murakami, In the Miso Soup: A Novel

“Very few people of our generation or the next will reach adulthood without experiencing the sort of unhappiness you can't really deal with on your own. We're still in the minority, so the media lump us together as "The Oversensitive Young", or whatever the latest catchphrase is, but eventually that will change.”
― Ryū Murakami, In the Miso Soup: A Novel

“And sometimes ignorance is even harder to deal with than deliberate evil.”
― Ryū Murakami, In the Miso Soup: A Novel
