“Above all remember this: that magic belongs as much to the heart as to the head and everything which is done, should be done from love or joy or righteous anger.”
― Susanna Clarke, The Ladies of Grace Adieu and Other Stories

“Selbst wenn alles schrecklich ist, man hat doch nur das eine Leben, das gibt man doch nicht auf, auch wenn man eine schwarze Krähe auf der Schulter hat, die einem gelegentlich das Herz aufhackt und die Eingeweide rausreißt, die haben wir doch alle.”
― Isabel Bogdan, Laufen

“We rest; A dream has power to poison sleep.
We rise; One wandering thought pollutes the day.
We feel, conceive, or reason; laugh or weep,
Embrace fond woe, or cast our cares away;
It is the same: for, be it joy or sorrow,
The path of departure still is free.
Man's yesterday may ne'er be like his morrow;
Nought may endure but mutability!”
― Mary Shelley, Frankenstein

“The good writers touch life often. The mediocre ones run a quick hand over her. The bad ones rape her and leave her for the flies.”
― Ray Bradbury, Fahrenheit 451
