Expectation wasn’t just about what people expected of you. It was about what you expected of yourself.
“I dreamed I spoke in another's language,
I dreamed I lived in another's skin,
I dreamed I was my own beloved,
I dreamed I was a tiger's kin.
I dreamed that Eden lived inside me,
And when I breathed a garden came,
I dreamed I knew all of Creation,
I dreamed I knew the Creator's name.
I dreamed--and this dream was the finest--
That all I dreamed was real and true,
And we would live in joy forever,
You in me, and me in you.”
― Abarat: Days of Magic, Nights of War

“Fairy tales are more than true: not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten.”
