“Posting online is like leaving your front door open and telling any creature of the night it can enter.”
― Victor LaValle, The Changeling

“Jakob had never been much for giving praise. In his youth, because he wanted all the praise for himself, like a dragon hoarding gold. In his old age, because he feared his liking a thing might lead to its destruction. But sometimes the right word can nudge a life towards the light, and a life changed is the world changed. By tiny degrees, perhaps. But for the better.”
― Joe Abercrombie, The Devils

“Sorrow and love are a single coin - the one we pay as the price of our humanity. Take it away and we'd be the worst kind of poor. And it's a mistake to believe the value of a life is erased by anguish at the end. If there's one thing atheists and the devout can agree on, Colin, death is where you leave your suffering behind.”
― Joe Hill, King Sorrow

“Love was the secret language of twins. It was the private code of a husband and a wife. It was the telegraph system of best friends. When you had it, a glance could suffice for ten minutes of talk. When you loved someone enough, you did not simply remember them. Some part of them was copied into you forever and so when they were gone they weren’t gone.”
― Joe Hill, King Sorrow
