there is to be afraid of in this world, and to tell you the truth,

Imagination has a poor memory; it slinks away and goes
blurry. Eyes remember for much longer.”
― Kendare Blake, Anna Dressed in Blood

"You leave nothing to assumption," Dory Maud says. "You swallow her with your eyes. I'm surprised there's any of her left for the rest of us to see.”
― Maggie Stiefvater, The Scorpio Races

“Half the world is composed of people who have something to say and can't, and the other half who have nothing to say and keep on saying it.”

“Words have no power to impress the mind without the exquisite horror of their reality.”
