“Sometimes you simply need to say thank you to someone, to be grateful for the road behind and the road ahead and the place you’re at, and gods are very good at accepting those feelings. And for all that humanity asks them for intercession with this crisis or that, it’s important when things go well to be thankful or at least conscious of your good fortune, whether the gods deserve the gratitude or not. We strive so much to achieve these small slivers of balance that it would be a shame not to look around and appreciate them when they happen.”
― Kevin Hearne, Staked

“Thank God for whiskey or the world would be so full of secrets the weight would spin us into the sun.”
― Richard Kadrey, Devil Said Bang

“For those of us who have not been to war, the best we can do is to simply understand that we can never understand.”
