“Grown-ups don't look like grown-ups on the inside either. Outside, they're big and thoughtless and they always know what they're doing. Inside, they look just like they always have. Like they did when they were your age. Truth is, there aren't any grown-ups. Not one, in the whole wide world.”
― Neil Gaiman, The Ocean at the End of the Lane

“Even the most worthless thing in the world can be beautiful, it just takes the right touch”
― Robert R Mccammon, Swan Song

“One Step...and then the next gets you where you're going."

“I suppose it isn’t fair to fault my father, though he’s the one who used it, moved it, claimed it as his own because of course, he did. That’s just the way of things, I beg and fight and scrape for scraps while he just has to glance upon a thing to make it his.”
― Joy McCullough, Blood Water Paint
