“Swift as a deer. Quiet as a shadow. Fear cuts deeper than swords. Quick as a snake. Calm as still water. Fear cuts deeper than swords. Strong as a bear. Fierce as a wolverine. Fear cuts deeper than swords. The man who fears losing has already lost.”
― George R.R. Martin

“[...] You can't count on things happening tomorrow just because they happened in the past. It's faulty logic.'

'Is it?' I say. 'Because it's kind of how people plan out their lives.'

'And that's part of the trouble. Thinking things are inevitable. Not believing change is possible.”
― Suzanne Collins, Sunrise on the Reaping

“You don’t like feeling powerless? Then change your definition of power. Do not fix unfixable problems. Do not devote yourself to things you cannot control. You cannot make this world respect you. You cannot make it dignify you. It will never bend to you. This world does not belong to you, Reina Mori, you belong to it, and perhaps when it is ready for a revolution it will look to you for leadership.”
― Olivie Blake, The Atlas Complex

“If you don’t heal what hurt you, you’ll bleed on people who didn’t cut you.”
