“Life is infinitely stranger than anything which the mind of man could invent. We would not dare to conceive the things which are really mere commonplaces of existence. If we could fly out of that window hand in hand, hover over this great city, gently remove the roofs, and and peep in at the queer things which are going on, the strange coincidences, the plannings, the cross-purposes, the wonderful chains of events, working through generations, and leading to the most outre results, it would make all fiction with its conventionalities and foreseen conclusions most stale and unprofitable.”
― Arthur Conan Doyle, The Complete Adventures of Sherlock Holmes

“They were just stories, but stories weren't just anything.”
― Rainbow Rowell, Fangirl

“It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose. That is not weakness, that is life.”
― Patrick Stewart

“I am and always will be the optimist, the hoper of far-flung hopes and the dreamer of improblable dreams.”
― Matt Smith
