blood.”

“Jack of all trades, master of none, though often better than a master of one.”
― Adam Savage

“I could recognize him by touch alone, by smell; I would know him blind, by the way his breaths came and his feet struck the earth. I would know him in death, at the end of the world.”
― Madeline Miller, The Song of Achilles
