“He stared at the young man, trying to gauge his thoughts and abilities. He looked human, every bit of him – but who was to say what one would find if they cut him open? Sandor was seized by the sudden desire to dissect the scrawny body sitting next to him. Would he find flesh and bone, or sawdust and straw? Or perhaps something more sinister? He shook the thought away.”
Clio Velentza, The Piano Room

Stephen W. Hawking
“So remember to look up at the stars and not down at your feet. Try to make sense of what you see and wonder about what makes the universe exist. Be curious. And however difficult life may seem, there is always something you can do and succeed at. It matters that you don’t just give up. Unleash your imagination. Shape the future.”
Stephen Hawking, Brief Answers to the Big Questions

“From somewhere a cold, menacing draught came, stroking the back of his neck in warning. He tossed his head. I do not care, he
told it in defiance.

He flicked his wrists to be free of his cuffs and cast about for truth in him. And then it was as if a vast body of water suddenly swelled, surging and washing over him, and he began to play.”
Clio Velentza, The Piano Room

Clarice Lispector
“Whoever wishes may accompany me: the road is long, it's painful but it's lived.”
Clarice Lispector, The Stream of Life

Normandi Ellis
“Mine is a heart of carnelian, crimson as murder on a holy day.”
Normandi Ellis, Awakening Osiris: A New Translation of the Egyptian Book of the Dead
