― Rachel Hartman, Shadow Scale

“The twin gods, Necessity and Chance, walked among the stars. What needed to be, was; what might be, sometimes was.”

“I am not a Pessimist. Indeed I am not sure that I quite know what Pessimism really means. All I do know is that life cannot be understood without much charity, it cannot be lived without much charity. It is love, and not German philosophy, that is the true explanation of this world, whatever may be the explanation of the next.”
― Oscar Wilde, An Ideal Husband
