“Ni muer ni viu ni no guaris,
Ni mal no·m sent e si l’ai gran,
Quar de s’amor no suy devis,
Ni no sai si ja n’aurai ni quan,
Qu’en lieys es tota le mercés
Que·m pot sorzer o decazer.”

“Not dying nor living nor healing,
there is no pain in my sickness,
for I am not kept from her love.
I don’t know if I will ever have it,
for all the mercy that makes me flourish or decay is in her power.”
― Deborah Harkness, A Discovery of Witches

“People seem weak, but they’re strong.
They seem strong, but they’re weak.
No matter how much you cry, you still have to sleep.
And you even get hungry.
You suddenly realize you’re doing the same things you did yesterday.
You say hi to your friends and smile just like you did yesterday.
Life goes on as if nothing ever happened…

I want to go somewhere…
Anywhere…
Somewhere where I can forget everything.
…where I’ll forget everything
…and be reborn.
Mars Volume 18”
― Fuyumi Soryo

“Desire urges me on, while fear bridals me.”

“All that children need is love, a grown-up to take responsibility for them, and a soft place to land.”
― Deborah Harkness, A Discovery of Witches
