“Something like anger, but the anger of a philosopher, the anger of a poet, an anger directed at the transience of the world, at its heartbreaking beauty that collides constantly with our awareness of the fact that everything gets taken away; that we're being shown marvels but reminded, always, that they don't belong to us, they're sultan's treasures, we're lucky (we're expected to feel lucky) to have been invited to see them at all.”
― Michael Cunningham, The Snow Queen

“I know you. I've seen it. And, knowing all, I release you.”
― Michael Cunningham, The Snow Queen
