"There was a man who loved the moon, but whenever he tried to embrace her, she broke into a thousand pieces and left him drenched, with empty arms."

"The unconscious mind is open terrain—no walls are barriers, for better or worse. Thoughts and feelings are free to wander, like characters leaving their books to taste life in other stories. Terrors roam, and so do yearnings. Secrets are turned out like pockets, and old memories meet new. They dance and leave their scents on each other, like perfume transferred between lovers. Thus is meaning made."

"All of this is ours, even the infinity..."

"...and just like that they were two people sitting at a table regarding each other shyly through a whisp of tea steam.
Inside a dream.
Within a lost city.
In the shadow of an angel.
At the brink of calamity."

"And so the Dreamer and the Goddess went shopping for a moon."

Taylor's writing gives these characters so much personality and liveliness; I cannot get enough of them!

I am thoroughly enjoying this so far. Taylor's writing is absolutely beautiful. I'm doing an immersive read (both audiobook and physical) thanks to Libby. I very highly recommend the audiobook.
