“It matters which side we choose. Even if there will never be more light than darkness. Even if there can be no more joy in the galaxy than there is pain.

I turn toward it because it is the light.”
― Claudia Gray, Master & Apprentice

“We’re all puzzle boxes, skeleton and skin, soul and shadow.”
― Seanan McGuire, Beneath the Sugar Sky

“It is easy to forget how full the world is of people, full to bursting, and each of them imaginable and consistently misimagined.”
― John Green, Paper Towns
