Jeff Vandermeer
“Some things you can be so close to that you never grasp their true nature.”
Jeff VanderMeer, Acceptance

Pearl S. Buck
“To repay evil with kindness is the proof of a good man; a superior man blames himself, a common man blames others.”
Pearl S. Buck, Peony: A Novel of China

Edith Hamilton
“Convention (is) so often a mask for injustice.”
Edith Hamilton, The Greek Way

Jeff Vandermeer
“Bodies could be beacons, too, Saul knew. A lighthouse was a fixed beacon for a fixed purpose; a person was a moving one. But people still emanated light in their way, still shone across the miles as a warning, an invitation, or even just a static signal. People opened up so they became a brightness, or they went dark. They turned their light inward sometimes, so you couldn’t see it, because they had no other choice.”
Jeff VanderMeer, Acceptance

Jeff Vandermeer
“That’s when you rise, finally. You rise out of the mud, in the rain, and you go back inside and suddenly everything gets really cold and calm. The answer doesn’t lie in your backyard because no one is going to come and save you even if you beg them to. Especially if you beg them to. You’re on your own, like you’ve always been on your own. You have to keep going forward, until you can’t go forward anymore.
You have to hang on. You’re almost there. You can make it to the end.”
Jeff VanderMeer, Acceptance
