Mercifull, indeed, is this worldly Existence, and cruel; and beautifull; and vile, and filled with Pain and greater in its Scale, and in its Depth, and its Complexity than mere Men can ever hope to understand; and profound wonderfull in its Capacity.”

― Laini Taylor, Daughter of Smoke & Bone

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

“History is not just facts and events. History is also a pain in the heart and we repeat history until we are able to make another’s pain in the heart our own.”
