“There are days when you wonder why these wretched old tatters of paper run my life. It's just leftover scraps from vanished lives, right? And they seem to control your every waking thought, all of your movements, even how you breathe, sometimes, with the fragile stuff. Your whole life. But then something comes along, a clue or sometimes the solution to a puzzle, and it sets you on fire!”
― Dana Cameron, A Fugitive Truth

“Crockery broke and fabric frayed. The delicate things I cared about perished, while the hard things like swords survived.”
― Sujata Massey, The Samurai's Daughter

“Never trust anyone who has not brought a book with them.”
― Lemony Snicket, Horseradish: Bitter Truths You Can't Avoid

“Stories are meant to comfort the afflicted, and afflict the comfortable.”
― Finley Peter Dunne
