I never even believed in happiness. I didn't think it existed. Now look at me. I'm ready to believe in just about anything.

I also like the whole idea of fairy tales and folk tales being a woman's domain, considered a lesser domain at the time they were told.

I think we are bound to, and by, nature. We may want to deny this connection and try to believe we control the external world, but every time there's a snowstorm or drought, we know our fate is tied to the world around us

The moon is always jealous of the heat of the day, just as the sun always longs for something dark and deep.

I love fairy tales and feel very affected by them.

Sometimes words drew blood, they cut your tongue, they made you know things you couldn't unknow.

Do what you want, do what you will, do what you have to, do what you think you cannot.
