“People are gonna tell you who you are your whole life. You’ve just gotta punch back and say ‘no, this is who I am’. You want people to look at you differently, make them. You want to change things, you’re gonna have to go out there and change them yourself because there are no fairy godmothers in this world.”
― Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz

“You know what I am going to say. I love you. What other men may mean when they use that expression, I cannot tell; what I mean is, that I am under the influence of some tremendous attraction which I have resisted in vain, and which overmasters me. You could draw me to fire, you could draw me to water, you could draw me to the gallows, you could draw me to any death, you could draw me to anything I have most avoided, you could draw me to any exposure and disgrace. This and the confusion of my thoughts, so that I am fit for nothing, is what I mean by your being the ruin of me. But if you would return a favorable answer to my offer of myself in marriage, you could draw me to any good – every good – with equal force.”
― Charles Dickens, Our Mutual Friend

“Let's start with the end of the world, why don't we? Get it over with and move on to more interesting things.”
― N.K. Jemisin, The Fifth Season

“we shared the longest ride together, this thing called life,”
