“It was my first glimpse of the honeycomb world, my first inkling that the past never truly dies but is strangely, beautifully alive in the present. There is an interconnectedness to all things, a link between what lies buried and what lives above, a capacity for mutability that allows a good act committed in the present to rectify an imbalance in times gone by. That, in the end, is the nature of justice: not to undo the past but, by acting further down the line of time, to restore some measure of harmony, some possibility of equilibrium, so that lives may continue with their burden eased and the dead may find peace in a world beyond this one.”
― John Connolly, The Killing Kind

“Sometimes, in life as in dreams, the world tries to communicate a truth to us, but in a manner so subtle that it takes us time to figure out.”
― John Connolly, The Land of Lost Things

“It’s not the people who read books you have to worry about, but the people who don’t.”
― John Connolly, The Land of Lost Things

“(...) Books retained traces of all those who read them, in a form of flakes of skin, hairs visible and minute, the oils from the fingertips, even blood and tears, so that just as a book became part of the reader, so, too, did a reader become part of the book.”
― John Connolly, The Land of Lost Things
