“All morning I struggled with the sensation of stray wisps of one world seeping through the cracks of another. Do you know the feeling when you start reading a new book before the membrane of the last one has had time to close behind you? You leave the previous book with ideas and themes -- characters even -- caught in the fibers of your clothes, and when you open the new book, they are still with you.”
― Diane Setterfield, The Thirteenth Tale

“I know there are people who don't read fiction at all, and I find it hard to understand how they can bear to be inside the same head all the time.”

“In quick succession, Qhuinn reviewed his answers: No, of course not, the knife was acting of its own volition. I was actually trying to stop it...No, I only meant to give him a shave...No, I didn't realize that slicing open someone's jugular was going to lead to death.”
― J.R. Ward, Lover Enshrined

“Do you hear the stellar winds, carrying from the heavens a whisper, straight from antiquity... into eternity..."

What are they whispering?"

Tatiana... Tatiana... Ta...tiana..."

Please stop."

Will you remember that? Anywhere you are, if you can look up and find Perseus in the sky, find that smile, and hear the galactic wind whisper your name, you'll know that it's me, calling for you... calling you back to Lazarevo.”
