“Dreams are unrealized stories.” Allaster’s voice was soft as the swish of the lake’s waters. Twice as alluring. “How can someone so passionate about stories not have a dream?”
― Kalyn Josephson, The Library of Amorlin

“There is no virtue in advertising one’s sadness. But there is no wisdom in denying it either. And there is the beautiful possibility that great love can grow out of sadness if it is well-tended.”
― Allen Levi, Theo of Golden

“Bad mercy don’t hurt nearly like bad justice”
― Allen Levi, Theo of Golden

“How is it, Theo wondered, that a piece of paper - a letter, a photo, a ticket stub, a sketch, a painting - is suddenly transformed by placing it in four bits of wood beneath a pane of glass? What does it mean that we place permanent boundaries around transient moments? What does it say of humankind that we take such trouble to freeze specific memories, that we devote such energy to capturing and preserving the "minute particulars" of our lives?”
― Allen Levi, Theo of Golden
