“People who claim that they're evil are usually no worse than the rest of us... It's people who claim that they're good, or any way better than the rest of us, that you have to be wary of.”
Gregory Maguire, Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West

Markus Zusak
“Like most misery, it started with apparent happiness.”
Markus Zusak, The Book Thief

Gregory Maguire
“Remember this: Nothing is written in the stars. Not these stars, nor any others. No one controls your destiny.”
