“Thoughts are ephemeral, they evaporate in the moment they occur, unless they are given action and material form. Wishes and intentions, the same.

Thoughts that do not, mean less than nothing.”
― Ann Leckie, Ancillary Justice

“I won't,' I say. 'I've never turned my back on you. And I'm not starting now.”
