“But I think it is also the relief I feel that those stars are immovable. Nothing you or I could do will ever alter them. They are so much bigger than us. And they will not change within our lifetime. We can succeed or fail, get it right or get it wrong, love and lose the ones we love, and still the Summer Triangle will point south. And in that way, I know everything will be some type of okay—as impossible as that can seem sometimes.”
― Taylor Jenkins Reid, Atmosphere

“Find delight in your pain, she said,
and rejoice in your longing.

you are alive, you are alive.”
― Lauren J.A. Bear, Medusa's Sisters

― Antonia Hodgson, The Raven Scholar
