Stories are sometimes born in fire, but regardless of origin they always live around fires and grow in the telling.
“Once upon a time -- because that's how all the best stories start, even the ones that lead to death and darkness and unhappy ever after.”
― The Witch's Kiss

“There's something horribly unfair about dying in the middle of a good story, before you have a chance to see how it all comes out.

“Help might not be required, but it’s nice to let a person know that you’re there if assistance is required.”
― Cheer Up, Love: Adventures in Depression with the Crab of Hate
― Cheer Up, Love: Adventures in Depression with the Crab of Hate
“If the Beast gave me a library like he gave to Belle, I’d marry him too.”
― The Ugly Stepsister

“You've got the look of a girl who's no stranger to the page. I can tell. You've got words in your soul.”
