“Commit a crime, and the earth is made of glass. Commit a crime, and it seems as if a coat of snow fell on the ground, such as reveals in the woods the track of every partridge and fox and squirrel and mole. You cannot recall the spoken word, you cannot wipe out the foot-track, you cannot draw up the ladder, so as to leave no inlet or clew. Some damning circumstance always transpires. The laws and substances of nature, — water, snow, wind, gravitation — become penalties to the thief.”
― Ralph Waldo Emerson, Essays, First Series

“In a time of deceit telling the truth is a revolutionary act.”
― George Orwell

“You can cut all the flowers but you cannot keep Spring from coming.”
― Pablo Neruda

“But it was Azriel who said, his voice like cold death, “Be careful how you speak about my High Lady.”
