All lives are tales. Some spread, and grow in the telling. Others are just told between us and the gods, muttered back and forth behind our days, but those tales grow too and shake us just as fierce.

Mark LawrenceWeโre built of contradictions, all of us. Itโs those opposing forces that give us strength, like an arch, each block pressing the next. Give me a man whose parts are all aligned in agreement and Iโll show you madness. We walk a narrow path, insanity to each side. A man without contradictions to balance him will soon veer off.
