“It is in that visionary Madness of the Mind that permits a Madman to perceive Truth in extremis, when all else had seemed lost.

― Jack Wolf, The Tale of Raw Head and Bloody Bones

“Hope can be a powerful force. Maybe there's no actual magic in it, but when you know what you hope for most and hold it like a light within you, you can make things happen, almost like magic.”
― Laini Taylor, Daughter of Smoke & Bone

“Your mind will never lose anything forever that's worth keeping.”
― Laura Whitcomb, A Certain Slant of Light
