― Terry Pratchett, A Hat Full of Sky

“A good traveler has no fixed plans and is not intent on arriving.”
― Lao Tzu

“According to Madam Pomfrey, thoughts could leave deeper scars than almost anything else.”
― J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

“I love short stories because I believe they are the way we live. They are what our friends tell us, in their pain and joy, their passion and rage, their yearning and their cry against injustice.”
