― Emily Littlejohn, Inherit the Bones

“Sometimes you listen with your ears; sometimes it’s like your whole body becomes this antenna and you pick up on everything.”
― Jennifer McMahon, Don't Breathe a Word

“What does a man’s life amount to? What does the life of a thousand, a billion? What is an ant’s life worth? I see now that the answer is irrelevant. It’s the question that matters. Should the ant let itself die, crushed under the weight of its own insignificance? Or should it live, fight giants, and build magnificent cities underground? What do I choose?”
― Sylvain Neuvel, Only Human

“If the landscape of your mind is too dark with fear or doubt or anger, you are blind to all truth. But if your mental landscape is too bright with certitude and arrogance, you are snow-blind and likewise unable to see what lies before you. Only the moonlit mind allows wonder, and it is in the thrall of wonder that you can see the intricate weave of the world of which you are but one thread, one fantastic and essential thread.”
― Dean Koontz, The Moonlit Mind
