“Easy to see the solution when you're not in the story, isn't it.”

“It might be a little confusing because of how long it was, but all of that was a flashback. Now, i'm arguing with the Serpent on the landing of the stairs leading up to the school's off-limits roof.”
― NisiOisiN, 囮物語 [Otorimonogatari]

“I used to wonder - at night when it was quiet enough in the cabin to think when I let myself get to the point of wishing for home - if the home in my heart was supposed to be the place I was born, or if it was the place that was raising me. If I got to choose it, or if it had somehow already claimed me.”
― Alexandra Bracken, The Darkest Minds

“I think there's some part of everyone, Psi or not, that's tuned into the memories of a place. Strong feelings, especially terror and desperation, leave an imprint on the air on the air that echo back to whoever's unlucky enough to walk through that place again. It felt like the darkness was stroking beneath my chin with a beckoning finger, whispering to me to lean forward and know its secrets.”
― Alexandra Bracken, The Darkest Minds
