“Everyone wants to see a witch punish someone for stealing from her. A witch is a kind of justice in the world. It makes for a fine story. No one wants to admit the truth, for all it stares them plainly in the face."

"What's that?"

"Steal from a woman long enough, and a witch is what she'll become.”
― Amal El-Mohtar, The River Has Roots

“And my heart swells at the silly, simple human fact that when we stumble upon something beautiful, our first instinct is to show it to the people we love.

It’s what we do with pretty seashells on a beach, a radiant sunset, a rare bird flitting through the trees, a heard of wild horses grazing in the countryside.

“Look,” we say, saving these little pieces of beauty for each other, “Do you see it too? Isn’t the world such a strange, lovely, breathtaking place?”
― Ann Liang, Never Thought I'd End Up Here

“Memory is a bitch that haunts like no ghost can.”

“His greatest fear wasn’t his true death—it was following his dream.”
