“But - if you're an in-between sort of creature with no family and no money, with nothing but your own two legs and a silver coin - sometimes running away is the only thing you can do.

― The Ten Thousand Doors of January

“Spiritual but not religious,” Zachary clarifies. He doesn’t say what he is thinking, which is that his church is held-breath story listening and late-night-concert ear-ringing rapture and perfect-boss fight-button pressing. That his religion is buried in the silence of freshly fallen snow, in a carefully crafted cocktail, in between the pages of a book somewhere after the beginning but before the ending.”
