“The world is changed because you are made of ivory and gold. The curves of your lips rewrite history.”
― Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray

“Sister Apple teaches you to lie. She teaches you how to sell that lie. Flattery, kindness, and fair words will often do the job. Sister Rule teaches you truths about this world of ours and Sister Pan teaches truths about worlds beyond. Sister Wheel, on the other hand, teaches you truths about yourself, and those are the hardest to learn of them all. If they are to be learned by the heart rather than by the head they cannot be sugared like a lie. If they are to form the foundation of a faith they must be discovered not delivered. Sister Wheel makes you discover revelation. Whether that is her intention or not is of no matter.”
― Mark Lawrence, Bound

“Sometimes you wake up. Sometimes the fall kills you. And sometimes, when you fall, you fly.”
― Neil Gaiman, The Sandman, Vol. 6: Fables & Reflections

“My heart is warm with the friends I make,
And better friends I'll not be knowing,
Yet there isn't a train I wouldn't take,
No matter where it's going.”
― Edna St. Vincent Millay, The Selected Poetry
