“Discipline allows magic. To be a writer is to be the very best of assassins. You do not sit down and write every day to force the Muse to show up. You get into the habit of writing every day so that when she shows up, you have the maximum chance of catching her, bashing her on the head, and squeezing every last drop out of that bitch.”
― Lili St. Crow

“I was never really insane except upon occasions when my heart was touched.”
― Edgar Allan Poe

“We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be.”
― Kurt Vonnegut, Mother Night

“When the bee to the earth does fall, the butterfly comes back to change all”
― Robin Hobb, Fool's Assassin
