“I stand in Minas Anor, the Tower of the Sun; and behold! the Shadow has departed! I will be a Shieldmaiden no longer, nor vie with the great Riders, nor take joy only in the songs of slaying. I will be a healer, and love all things that grow and are not barren.”

― Madeleine L'Engle, A Wrinkle in Time

“I don't know if they're really like everybody else, or if they're able to pretend they are.”
