“Men have called me mad; but the question is not yet settled, whether madness is or is not the loftiest intelligence– whether much that is glorious– whether all that is profound– does not spring from disease of thought– from moods of mind exalted at the expense of the general intellect.”
― Edgar Allan Poe, The Complete Tales and Poems of Edgar Allan Poe

“Knowledge is dangerous. Once you know something, you can't get rid of it. You have to carry it. Always.”
― Samantha Shannon, The Bone Season

“No woman should be made to fear that she was not enough.”
― Samantha Shannon, The Priory of the Orange Tree

“Madness is a matter of perspective, little dreamer.”
― Samantha Shannon, The Mime Order
