“Go into the light, my children." Do yourself a favor, if you see any light, do not go into it unless you want to land back down here... or somewhere else encased in mud all over again. Turn from that light and walk into the shadows and soon enough your vision will grow accustomed to the dark until the darkness shines so beautifully that you can find your own way back Home.”
― Leilah Wendell, Our Name Is Melancholy : The Complete Books of Azrael

“What an astonishing thing a book is. It's a flat object made from a tree with flexible parts on which are imprinted lots of funny dark squiggles. But one glance at it and you're inside the mind of another person, maybe somebody dead for thousands of years. Across the millennia, an author is speaking clearly and silently inside your head, directly to you. Writing is perhaps the greatest of human inventions, binding together people who never knew each other, citizens of distant epochs. Books break the shackles of time. A book is proof that humans are capable of working magic."

“There's a difference between the fact that the universe is inherently unfair on a cosmic level, and the fact that life is unfair because people are actively making it so.”

“The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are.”
