“I remember Aeneas’ words as I remember the poet’s words. I remember every word because they are the fabric of my life, the warp I am woven on. All my life since Aeneas’ death might seem a weaving torn out of the loom unfinished, a shapeless tangle of threads making nothing, but it is not so; for my mind returns as the shuttle returns always to the starting place, finding the pattern, going on with it. I was a spinner, not a weaver, but I have learned to weave.”
― Ursula K. Le Guin, Lavinia

“Each moment free from fear makes a man immortal.”
― Mary Renault, The Alexander Trilogy

“There is no fixing. There is only moving forward in the brokenness.”
― Erin Morgenstern, The Starless Sea
