“As you swallow the cow’s tongue, think for a moment about how strange and holy that is, to devour the tongue of another. To steal from it all its power to speak, to low at the moon, to call to its calf. To be worthy of such food you must guard your own words carefully, speaking only the wise and clever ones, lest your tongue end up likewise, on the plate of a rich man.”
― Catherynne M. Valente, Deathless

“Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass...It's about learning to dance in the rain.”
