“Trying to introduce the concept of law and order to a people who had never been given reason to trust it, and who therefore found justice in blood feuds—they were so much more honorable, and interesting, and, well, bloody—was a terribly long and frustrating process.”
― Thomas Mullen, Darktown

“That's how the European tribes operate, she said. If they can’t control it, they destroy it.”
― Colson Whitehead, The Underground Railroad

“Most people look at cats and think what a life—all we do is lie around in the sun, never having to lift a finger. But cats’ lives aren’t that idyllic. Cats are powerless, weak little creatures that injure easily. We don’t have shells like turtles, nor wings like birds. We can’t burrow into the ground like moles or change colors like a chameleon. The world has no idea how many cats are injured every day, how many of us meet a miserable end. I happen to be lucky enough to live with the Tanabes in a warm and friendly family, the children treat me well, and I’ve got everything I need. But even my life isn’t always easy. When it comes to strays, though, they have a very tough time of it.”
― Haruki Murakami, Kafka on the Shore

“Things don’t end, after all. They only change, and you keep changing with them.”
― M.R. Carey, The Boy on the Bridge
