“This unsightly condition is only temporary. Don't be sad. Don't fear. I will place you somwhere where the fish and the birds can strip away all this broken flesh. It will soon be gone. Then you will be a handsome skull and handsome bones. I will put you in good order and you can rest in the Sunlight and Starlight.”
― Susanna Clarke, Piranesi

“No story ever truly ends as long as it is told.”
― Erin Morgenstern, The Starless Sea

“han ser skeppet glida in i den ovilliga framtiden, den skarpa kölen skära in i det motsträviga ödet, vingar bära honom in i det land, där allt vad han gör är förgäves, i de tomma och fåfänga dagarnas land långt borta från ödet...”
― Edith Södergran, Complete Poems

“For those who feel homesick for a place they’ve never been to. Those who seek even if they do not know what (or where) it is that they are seeking. Those who seek will find. Their doors have been waiting for them.”
― Erin Morgenstern, The Starless Sea
