“I do not listen when anyone uses the word 'immoral'. In the young it is ridiculous. In the old, it is sententious and reactionary. In the middle-aged, who love and fear the idea of moral life the most, it is hypocritical.”
― Gregory Maguire, Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West

“If there’s an opposite of a honeymoon, it’s the week after a couples first child is born. No matter how hard they try, no matter how pure their intentions... everything will go wrong.”
― Brian K. Vaughan, Saga, Book One

“We’re all aliens to someone. Even among our own people, most of us still feel like complete foreigners from time to time. Usually associated with invasions, abductions, or other hostile acts, the term “alien” gets a bad rap. But over the years, the word has come to mean something very different to me... future friend material.”
― Brian K. Vaughan, Saga #34

“A baby wasn't an idea, as love was an idea. A baby was a fact. It was a being with a mind and a nature, and you could feel about it any way you liked, but a baby wouldn't care. Just by existing, it demanded that you believe in a future: the future it would crawl in, walk in, live in. A baby was a piece of time; it was a promise you made that the world made back to you. A baby was the oldest deal there was, to go on living.”
― Justin Cronin, The Passage
