“The constant happiness is curiosity.”

“You think fairy tales are only for girls? Here's a hint - ask yourself who wrote them. I assure you, it wasn't just the women. It's the great male fantasy - all it takes is one dance to know that she's the one. All it takes is the sound of her song from the tower, or a look at her sleeping face. And right away you know - this is the girl in your head, sleeping or dancing or singing in front of you. Yes, girls want their princes, but boys want their princesses just as much. And they don't want a very long courtships. They want to know immediately.”
― David Levithan, Dash & Lily's Book of Dares

“Life is made of so many moments that mean nothing. Then one day, a single moment comes along to define every second that comes after. Such moments are tests of courage, of strength.”
― Sabaa Tahir, An Ember in the Ashes

“Suonavamo perché l'Oceano è grande, e fa paura, suonavamo perché la gente non sentisse passare il tempo, e si dimenticasse dov'era, e chi era. Suonavamo per farli ballare, perché se balli non puoi morire, e ti senti Dio. E suonavamo il ragtime, perché è la musica su cui Dio balla, quando nessuno lo vede.
Su cui Dio ballava, se solo era negro.”
― Alessandro Baricco, Novecento. Un monologo
