“Love suffers long and is kind. Love does not parade itself, is not arrogant or rude, does not seek its own, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.”
― Stephanie Thornton, The Secret History: A Novel of Empress Theodora

“The brief span of an individual life is misleading. Each one of us is as old as the entire biological kingdom, and our bloodstreams are tributaries of the great sea of its total memory. The uterine odyssey of the growing foetus recapitulates the entire evolutionary past, and its central nervous system is a coded time scale, each nexus of neurones and each spinal level marking a symbolic station, a unit of neuronic time.”
― J.G. Ballard, The Drowned World

“Can you remember who you were, before the world told you who you should be?”
― Danielle LaPorte

“Ankh, udja, seneb!”
― Stephanie Thornton, Daughter of the Gods: A Novel of Ancient Egypt
