Leigh Bardugo
“I would have come for you. And if I couldn't walk, I'd crawl to you, and no matter how broken we were, we'd fight our way out together-knives drawn, pistols blazing. Because that's what we do. We never stop fighting.”
― Leigh Bardugo, Crooked Kingdom

Neal Shusterman
“In time, all storms settle to a pleasant breeze.”
― Neal Shusterman, Thunderhead

Ryszard Kapuściński
“Time appears as a result of our actions, and vanishes when we neglect or ignore it. It is something that springs into life under our influence, but falls into a state of hibernation, even nonexistence, if we do not direct our energy toward it. It is subservient, passive essence, and most importantly, one dependent on man.

The absolute opposite of time as it is understood in the European worldview.”
― Ryszard Kapuściński, The Shadow of the Sun

Ryszard Kapuściński
“El viaje por el mundo es un peregrinar de una provincia a otra, y cada una de ellas es una estrella solitaria que brilla sólo para sí misma. Para la mayoría de la gente que vive allí, el mundo real se acaba en el umbral de su casa, en el límite de su aldea o, todo lo más, en la frontera de su valle. El mundo situado más allá no es real ni importante, ni tan siquiera necesario, mientras que el que se tiene a mano, el que se abarca con la vista, aumenta ante nuestros ojos hasta alcanzar el tamaño de un cosmos tan inmenso que nos impide ver todo lo demás. Ocurre a menudo que el habitante del lugar y el que llega desde lejos tienen grandes dificultades a la hora de encontrar un lenguaje común, pues cada uno de ellos se sirve de una óptica diferente para mirar el mismo paisaje. El visitante usa un gran angular, que le da una imagen alejada y reducida, y, en contrapartida, una larga línea de horizonte; en tanto que el interlocutor local siempre ha usado un teleobjetivo o incluso un telescopio, que aumenta hasta el detalle lo más insignificante.”
― Ryszard Kapuściński, The Shadow of the Sun

Alexandra Bracken
“There are rules, but rules may be rewritten if only one hand holds the ink.”
― Alexandra Bracken, Passenger
