“Again, it's only terrible because people like you make it so. It's the same as how you just made fun of me for working in a coffee shop. You want coffee, you want coffee shops to exist, you want people to work there, but then you have open disdain for the very workers you just admitted you need. What is that? This requirement that people - especially women - have to do their jobs and then, on top of that, have to be a receptacle for rage?”

“Doors are magical things. Always. It doesn't matter whether they connect two familiar, well-known rooms or two entirely undiscovered spaces: to travel from one distinct location into another simply by passing through a portal, whether bound in wood or carved from stone, is a magical act.”
― Seanan McGuire, Through Gates of Garnet and Gold

“We are the seeds of the forest, we blaze so bright, no life is special. No life is special. No life is special and all of them are. No love matters more than any other, no story is more important, nothing matters more, nothing matters less, so choose, choose, we choose every day to be more than just ourselves, to live for more than just ourselves, because it is beautiful.

(p. 201)”

“We all float through space on a rock, hurtling toward forever. So many of us forget that it's other people who make life worth living. As much as we like to think so, we can't do this alone. Everyone needs someone. Maybe not all the time, but enough that it matters.”
