“No man knows till he has suffered from the night how sweet and dear to his heart and eye the morning can be.”
― Jonathan Harker's Journal, Bram Stoker, Dracula

“It doesn't matter how greatly you've been hurt of how much your hurting, it's what you do with the pain that counts.”
― Chris Colfer, The Wishing Spell

“The glow flares bright—bright as the billion-year-old light around us. Bright as a sun.

Almost every particle in the universe was once part of a star.

First, hydrogen condensing and collapsing, bringing radiance to the void.

Furnaces burning bright, then fading, giving all they had left back into the cosmos.

Carbon and oxygen. Iron and gold.

Vast clouds swirling with their own gravity. Coalescing and disintegrating.

Generation to generation.

The remnants of stellar alchemy, stirring into life, then consciousness.

Crawling from the oceans. Taking to the skies.

And from there, back to the stars that birthed them.

A perfect circle.”
― Amie Kaufman, Illuminae

“Every driven person comes from a mountain of pain they wish to keep hidden.”
― Chris Colfer, The Wishing Spell
