Sunyi Dean
“For here was the thing that no fairy tale would ever admit, but that she understood in that moment: love was not inherently good. Certainly, it could inspire goodness. She didn’t argue that. Poets would tell you that love was electricity in your veins that could light a room. That it was a river in your soul to lift you up and carry you away, or a fire inside the heart to keep you warm. Yet electricity could also fry, rivers could drown, and fires could burn; love could be destructive. Punishingly, fatally destructive.”
Sunyi Dean, The Book Eaters

“An old friend once told me that there ain’t always a light at the end of the tunnel,” Gorm said. “That’s why ye gotta carry a torch.”
J. Zachary Pike, Son of a Liche

Hideo Kojima
“A very long time ago, I dreamed that I met a cat. When I awoke, I had returned to being a high school student, and the dream quickly passed from my memory. But as an adult, reading Jennie again, I realized that I had never forgotten the experience of that dream, not even for an instant. Now, as always, I carry Jennie’s meme inside myself. And so, when I declared at the beginning of this essay that I had never had a cat, I was wrong. I had Jennie.”
Hideo Kojima, The Creative Gene: How books, movies, and music inspired the creator of Death Stranding and Metal Gear Solid

“Another element of the one-page memo was to frame thinking into threes. Three reasons why your idea made sense. Three key findings from a research report. Always three. I remember asking why, and the answer was put simply: one or two is not convincing enough; four or more is overkill. Three was judged to be the perfect number. I still tend to talk in threes.”
Reggie Fils-Aimé, Disrupting the Game: From the Bronx to the Top of Nintendo

“Oh, there’s always a choice. Choice is a constant.” Flinn grinned, a cold glint in his eye. “It’s consequences that vary.”
J. Zachary Pike, Orconomics
