― Frank Herbert, Chapterhouse: Dune

“Now all that was gone. This was the unbelievable fact of death. This was a paradox her mind could not accept, that someone could be in the world one moment and simply be gone the next.”
― R.F. Kuang, Katabasis

“I FIND I think of myself not as a writer so much as some one who provides a gateway, a tangential route for readers to reach the circus. To visit the circus again, if only in their minds, when they are unable to attend it physically. I relay it through printed words on crumpled newsprint, words that they can read again and again, returning to the circus whenever they wish, regardless of time of day or physical location. Transporting them at will. When put that way, it sounds rather like magic, doesn’t it?”
― Erin Morgenstern, The Night Circus

“Confidence, real or perceived, has a peculiar power over people.”
― James Islington, The Will of the Many
