“Everyone else lived in such an ossified world. They simply took the rules given to them. They were interested only in articulating their own limits; they moved about as if in stone. But magicians lived in air, dancing on a tentative staircase of ideas, and it was a source of endless delirium, to know that the instant the world began to bore you, you could snap your fingers, and you'd be in free fall once again.

― R.F. Kuang, Katabasis

“The lost and the lonely. We find them, and we give them purpose, and we keep them as well as we can, and as long as they are sure of us, they stay.”
