“I cannot shield you from the challenges you will face. You will know great loss and danger, but also great joy. You may doubt your instincts in the years to come, but your feet have been walking this path since the moment you were born.”
― Deborah Harkness, A Discovery of Witches

“Once the world was full of wonders, but it belongs to humans now. We creatures have all but disappeared; daemons, vampires and witches. Hiding in plain sight, fearful of discovery, ill at ease even with each other.
But as my father used to say:
In every ending, there is a new beginning.”
― Deborah Harkness, A Discovery of Witches

“On the surface of the ocean, men wage war and destroy each other; but down here, just a few feet beneath the surface, there is a calm and peace, unmolested by man”
― Jules Verne

“The human mind delights in grand conceptions of supernatural beings.”
― Jules Verne, Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea
