“It is true, we shall be monsters, cut off from all the world; but on that account we shall be more attached to one another.”
― Mary Shelley, Frankenstein

“I could stay, and search for what had been home, or I could go, now, before the walls shifted and the way out was shut.”

“No more let life divide what death can join together.”
― Percy Bysshe Shelley, Adonais

“It matters which side we choose. Even if there will never be more light than darkness. Even if there can be no more joy in the galaxy than there is pain. For every action we undertake, for every word we speak, for every life we touch—it matters. I don’t turn toward the light because it means someday I’ll ‘win’ some sort of cosmic game. I turn toward it because it is the light.”
― Claudia Gray, Master & Apprentice
