“The world turns, and there are new horrors and terrors every day. But it's like ... like there is something deeper, something truer, going on. And if we can just tell the right story, we might all work it out. Poets and writers have tried for thousands of years to capture in words that spark of humanity that makes us what we are.”
― Simon P. Clark, Eren

“As long as there's people, there's tales.”
― Simon P. Clark, Eren

“No greater fear or happiness," he whispers, "than for those who keep the books alive.”
― Simon P. Clark, Eren

“I have seen worlds grow and die, until their ashes don't even float on the wind of the highest mountains. I've loved the legends of men whose names are lost, loved people who aren't even memories. The trees you climb now will be the coal that heats the rooms in a thousand years that house the babies that grow to found the empires that will crumble to dust while I sit and watch. I've seen libraries burn, my boy, I've seen books crackle and spit and crack to black earth and shadows. I've waited and slept and ignored more history than you and your islanders will ever know happened. Don't tell me I can't have a moment of thought before the bite.”
― Simon P. Clark, Eren
