“The pain was sharp, but small, unimportant somehow. Suddenly, it wasn’t as though he was missing fingers. His fingers were the snow. They were the rivers, reaching all the way down the mountain to sink into the ocean and grasp the power of gods. He wasn’t bleeding out. He was the mountain. For the first time in his life, he was perfectly, overwhelmingly whole.”

Some people touch your hand
and music fills the sky.”
― Charlotte Zolotow

“To find a way, or make your own.”
― V.E. Schwab, The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue
