“The measurements of space and time, the photographs of far stars and of points of light which proved to be composed of thousands of stars, filled him with an awe which felt like the edge of a delicious panic.”

“I had been taught to tame my wild impulses and desires that had agitated me to pain. I had folded it with my soul and learnt to drink contentment like you would a poison. Drop by drop, day by day. Until it became tolerable.”
― Jeannette Ng, Under the Pendulum Sun

“I do not aim with my hand. She who aims with her hand has forgotten the face of her father. I aim with my eye.

I do not shoot with my hand. She who shoots with her hand has forgotten the face of her father. I shoot with my mind.

I do not kill with my gun. She who kills with her gun has forgotten the face of her father. I kill with my heart.”
― Stephen King, The Dark Tower Series: Books 1-7

“There are some people who belong to the land of the dead and some who belong to the land of the living. And there are some who stand between the two, keeping open the door. These are the artists, dreamers, philosophers and mystics. They are strange people who tell of strange things. We must be patient with them. I myself, in my humble way, stand between these two worlds. I make the pastries. I wait. We all have our roles, as I believe you do.”
― Reggie Oliver, Flowers of the Sea
