“Everyone has a different way of escaping the dark stillness of their mind.”
― Marie Lu, Warcross

“The problem with ideas is that they never come all at once. They emerge like prairie dogs. An edge of ear, or the tip of a nose, and sometimes even the whole head. But if you look straight at an idea too fast, it can vanish back into the ground before you're even sure of what you've seen. Instead, you have to sneak up on it slowly, looking out of the corner of your eye, and then and only then you might glance up to get a clear look.”
― Maggie Stiefvater, All the Crooked Saints

“The conception of perfection exists only so we have something to strive toward. Impossibility is built into it, which is why we call it perfect instead of extremely good.”
― Maggie Stiefvater, All the Crooked Saints

“Even a small voice is still a voice.”
