“I don’t think you realize how strong you are, because sometimes strength isn’t swords and steel and fire, as we are so often made to believe. Sometimes it’s found in quiet, gentle places. The way you hold someone’s hand as they grieve. The way you listen to others. The way you show up, day after day, even when you are weary or afraid or simply uncertain. That is strength, and I see it in you.”
― Rebecca Ross, Divine Rivals

“I'm past patiently waitin',
I'm passionately mashin' every expectation,
Every action's an act of creation,
I'm laughin' in the face of casualties and sorrow:
For the first time, I'm thinkin' past tomorrow!
And I am not throwin' away my shot!”
― Lin-Manuel Miranda, Hamilton: The Revolution

“...for it is the poet’s art to make every ear that hears the ancient songs think they have been sung for them alone, the old made new.”
― Claire North, Ithaca

“What dreadful hot weather we have! It keeps one in a continual state of inelegance.”
― Jane Austen, Jane Austen's Letters
