Victoria Aveyard
“The truth is what I make it. I could set this world on fire and call it rain.”
Victoria Aveyard, Red Queen

Toni Morrison
“It's a nice big fat philosophical question, about: how do you get through? Sometimes you don't survive whole, you just survive in part. But the grandeur of life is that attempt. It's not about that solution. It is about being as fearless as one can, and behaving as beautifully as one can, under completely impossible circumstances. It's that, that makes it elegant. Good is just more interesting, more complex, more demanding. Evil is silly, it may be horrible, but at the same time it's not a compelling idea. It's predictable. It needs a tuxedo, it needs a headline, it needs blood, it needs fingernails. It needs all that costume in order to get anybody's attention. But the opposite, which is survival, blossoming, endurance, those things are just more compelling intellectually if not spiritually, and they certainly are spiritually. This is a more fascinating job. We are already born, we are going to die. So you have to do something interesting that you respect in between.”
Toni Morrison

Euripides
“Come back. Even as a shadow, even as a dream.”
Euripides

Bruno Bettelheim
“Even Aristotle, master of pure reason, said: 'The friend of wisdom is also a friend of myth.”
Bruno Bettelheim, The Uses of Enchantment: The Meaning and Importance of Fairy Tales

Victoria Schwab
“Mourning was its own kind of music—the sound of so many hearts, of so many breaths, of so many standing together.”
Victoria Schwab, Our Dark Duet
