“There were dragons when I was a boy.”
― Cressida Cowell, How to Train Your Dragon

“Just like the life
In which I’m forever a child looking out my window at the night sky
Thinking one day I’ll touch the world with bare hands
Even if it burns.”
― Tracy K. Smith, Life on Mars: Poems

“It is possible to commit no mistakes and still loose. That is not a weakness. That is life.”
― Gene Roddenberry

“Maybe there were people who lived those lives. Maybe this girl was one of them. But what about the rest of us? What about the nobodies and the nothings, the invisible girls? We learn to hold our heads as if we wear crowns. We learn to wring magic from the ordinary. That was how you survived when you weren’t chosen, when there was no royal blood in your veins. When the world owed you nothing, you demanded something of it anyway.”
― Leigh Bardugo, Crooked Kingdom
